All of the aged folkies in A MIGHTY WIND took themselves so seriously, you had to laugh...Their earnestness and sincerity provided a behind-their-back laughter that didn't make anyone fall out of their seat. Comedy doesn't require volume, which, unlike This is Spinal Tap, this mockumentary lacks but the laughter quietly mounted until Fred Willard multiplied it by chewing up scenery as a 300-watt lightbulb of a concert promoter. The flashbacks to folk music album covers from the sixties was precious.
