Advantages: Quirky and funny version of original classic Disadvantages: Not completely true to the book
I must say, most guiltily, that I've never read the 'Windin the Willows'. Yet here I am to pay homage to one of the funniest DVD's I've ever seen. Looking at a few reviews on different websites the general consensus seems to be that, while not quite true to the book, this is still a hilarious and cheering film for both adults and children (it's rated 'Universal'). However, I've also read some very negative reviews from people brought up on the classic children's story, who find that this film unnecessarily deviates from material so good it should never have to be changed.

Advantages: Clever parody, some very funny scenes Disadvantages: The music
Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean are still best known for their brilliant spoof rockumentary ?This Is Spinal Tap? almost 20 years later they?re back but this time as a folk band from the 60?s trying to re-launch their career.
THE FILM
In the same way that ?Spinal Tap? pretended to be a documentary about the Rock band Spinal Tap A mighty wind follows in a documentary style the setting up and performance of a folk reunion concert featuring top folk band from the 60?s 'The Main Street Singers', 'The Folksmen' and 'Mitch and Mickey' as a tribute for legendary folk impresario Irving Steinbloom.
Of course as in 'Spinal Tap' all the characters and bands are fictitious but if you are not careful you could be taken in to believing it. In spinal tap the band was a parody of all the hair metal bands of the time and in ...
