Director: Christopher Guest
Cast: Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer

Three influential folk groups from the 1960s get together for a tribute concert in Christopher Guest's latest mockumentary. His comedies rarely offer surprises, but they have wonderful characters and subtle humour. This time is no different, except that the jokes don't seem to hit home and the last half hour is all performance and no comedy.
