Wissenswertes
In an early-'90s, and again in late 90's/ early 2000's, Spinal Tap tour, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest opened for themselves as The Folksmen and were booed during the first act, as people did not know or cared that the two bands had the same musicians.

Patzer
When the New Main Street Singers are playing at the reunion concert, members of the band move around between shots.

Zitate
Terry Bohner: There was abuse in my family, but it was mostly musical in nature.

Crazy Credits
At the end of the film, before the traditional scrolling credits, the screen is filled with all the main actors' names. One at a time, each star's name is highlighted, in alphabetical order. The scrolling credits are in order of appearance.

Alternative Versionen
2003 DVD version uses the film's WB and Castle Rock logos with "An AOL Time Warner company" (along with WB distribution card at end). The 2016 Warner Archive Blu-ray keeps the logos roughly the same, but with slightly updated versions losing the AOL designation. (The trailer included on it retains the original AOL Time Warner logos from 2003.)

Blew me away!

An excellent entertainment, though very different from this ensemble's other pseudo-documentary efforts (Spinal Tap, Best in Show).

Incredibly creative. I'm a fan of folk music and this film really nails the eclectic backgrounds of folk musicians, right down to the distinctive vocalizations, multi-line harmonies and excessive enthusiasm. I was so impressed that all the parodied songs were written and performed (well) by the actors and I now covet the sound track. Get ready for a lot of subtle humor and story lines and enjoy the send-up.
