Fred Willard is so good that I went through the deleted scenes looking for more of his footage. "I don't THINK so!"
Ultimately not as memorable for me as Best in Show in terms of characters and jokes. It's still solid though with a lot of laugh out loud moments and surprisingly catchy songs.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender mockumentary that finds genuine warmth and melancholy beneath its comic surface, following aging folk musicians reuniting to honor their departed manager and rediscover what drew them together in the first place.
