A hoot.

While Guest never forgets to laugh, he never forgets to love either, embracing the very subject he is simultaneously throttling.

You don't leave A Mighty Wind laughing so much as humming. Its dialogue may be improvised, but its music is well rehearsed.

fresh:
More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.

rotten:
There is no shortage of performers with comic skills in A Mighty Wind. What's lacking instead is a visible premise for the satire and ridicule.
