Has anyone seen this yet? I am very frustrated. This movie opened on April 16th, in select cities, and the Detroit area was not selected. This is the newest Christopher Guest movie, and is a mockumentary of various folk music artists. I am very eager to see it, but I can't find any info on when, or if, it will be showing in the Detroit area. I don't mind an excuse to go to Chicago, but seems silly for just a movie!

Same problem here. The closest the movie is currently playing is in Dallas -- and I do not want to go that far for a movie. BUT, the manager of one of the theatres here (northern Louisiana) said that they plan on showing it in early May when the studio widens the release. If it is scheduled to come here, then surely Detroit is on the list!

Thanks Cba. While I was hitting the snooze this morning and was still half asleep, I thought I heard a commercial for the movie that said something about May 7 or May 9 for further releases. But, like I said, I was still had one foot inside dreamland. I sure hope it comes soon!

Whats funny is one of the groups is the group that warmed up for Spinal Tap in "This is Spinal Tap" Oh, and one of the guys was interviewed (Harry S. maybe) and they did a Spinal Tap show somewhere where they warmed up for themselves (Folksman warmed up for Spinal Tap). They were booed off the stage. Harry said its probably the only time a band has been booed off the stage so they could come back and play more.

Lol, Ryn. I didn't know that trivia about the Spinal Tap warm up band. Cool. I'm addicted to Christopher Guest's soft humor. Been looking forward to this movie. The website is cute too.

I am so excited about this movie. At first, I didn't think they were going to release it widely but then I heard a commercial too. We were in Atlanta just for a layover and saw a poster and my husband and I wished so much we had more than an hour layover! We would have hightailed it to the theatre. Christopher Guest can do no wrong. http://amightywindonline.warnerbros.com/index.php for those curious...

Yay! Going this Friday! Can't wait! DH said that he heard an interview with Harry S. and Mitch Albom last Friday on the way home from work. (Wish he woulda called me; grumble grumble) But anyway, Harry said that all of Guest's movies are ad libbed. Each actor is given a character study and they just go from there. I think that's awesome!

Saw the movie on Friday nite and it went by tooo fast. I wish it was already out on DVD so that I could watch it at home. I'm sure each time I watch this, I find something I missed before. A quality comedy here.

Saw this last night and giggled and laughed all the way through. What great characters!!! What great lyrics!! A real treat, especially for the folkie/boomer set. Another great piece of art from Guest and his bunch. Now to check out the website Fab posted!

I'm a big Christopher Guess fan! I watched A Mighty Wind about a few weeks ago and it was terrific. I went back and watched it with the comments and it was even funnier and most interesting - especially the filming of the PBS concert. I've got Waiting for Guffman that I'm gonna watch this weekend.
