The most prominent of the three is Mitch and Mickey, a hopelessly maudlin duo played by Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, who sports one of the more grating speech impediments in recent memory. Another band, the Folksmen, is comprised of the same actors playing the same instruments they butchered in Spinal Tap, but reinvented as balding, anachronistic folk singers. The script makes a serious mistake in under-using the Folksmen, replacing the genuine tension of their metal alter egos with some inane squabbling over...

In truth, it was crude stuff. But Mickey turned a cow's tail into a hurdy-gurdy handle, and it mooed music as he cranked away. Another bovine's teeth became a xylophone on which he beat out a tune. In short, Willie had what its more pretentious competitors lacked--energy and freedom. And its creator was on his way to fame, riches and immortality. --By Richard...
