Looks to be the "Spinal Tap" of the folk genre...

Christopher Guest is brilliant... I saw BOb Balaban talking to Charlie Rose a few weeks back about this upcoming movie- looks to another winner.

He described the architecture of the film; Guest and Levy create the frame work, but no lines are scripted; each actor works from within the parameters of their character... way cool,

Chris Guest,Michael McKean and Harry Shearer in the red shirts... Kathryn Ohara Eugene Levy...Fred Willard, Balaban...

what a great ensemble cast

The trailer looks great. I hope it plays Cloverdale. Image

This looks either hilarious or beating a joke/style into the ground. With a near-identical cast as Best in Show it looks to have the same flavor. But I do look forward to it. And since I rarely go to movies, the sooner Aitch Bee Oh gets it the better.
