Re-watched this film for research on a project I'm getting ready for. I have to be honest in that this isn't my favourite Guest film. I love the musical aspect of it, but I just feel like it's missing a point to the whole thing. I'm not quite sure why we're following these people or what Guest is trying to get at with the idea of following these folk stars around - the themes and whatnot. I love a lot of the performances here, but mostly Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, who are fantastic and somewhat heartbreaking. Everyone else just feels like they're coming out to do something fun - which it is. There's some characters here that I just downright don't enjoy at all - but it's no fun obsessing over that :)
It's a very welcome additional to Guest's work, but no where close to my favorite.
