A Mighty Wind: Review

String fever: Harry Shearer, Michael McKean and Christopher Guest

But A Mighty Wind is a worthy successor to the granddaddy of all music-parody pictures, the utterly brilliant This Is Spinal Tap (1984). Which should come as no surprise, given that A Mighty Wind's writer, director and multitalented performer Christopher Guest's résumé goes back to, yes, Spinal Tap.
