Continuity mistake: In addition to the son of the dead guy's stuff jumping from disorganized to organized and back again, at the beginning his pen is seen sitting diagonally on top of his paper. But when he goes to organize it, he slides it onto the paper from the left, meaning it suddenly jumped onto the desk. There's also what appears to be a coin purse in a box which goes from disorganized to organized and back again, even though he never touches it.

Plot summary
Directed by: Christopher Guest
Starring: Eugene Levy, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Mary Gross, Jim Moret, Marty Belafsky, Stuart Luce
When folk-music producer Irving Steinbloom dies, his son Jonathan has just days to reunite three of his father's biggest groups (The Folksmen, The Main Street Singers and Mitch and Mickey) for a tribute concert in his memory. The (New) Main Street Singers and The Folksmen agree, but it doesn't prove to be as easy to reunite America's folk sweethearts, Mitch and Mickey, who haven't spoken to each other since a nasty breakup caused Mitch's mental breakdown. As the concert nears, The Folksmen and The New Main Street Singers prepare for a final chance at stardom, while Mitch and Mickey try to come to terms with the events (and lingering feelings) of years past.

Lars Olfen: I had a garage band in Stockholm, which was a challenge in its own right, to keep an instrument tuned with that temperature swing. There's a block warmer for the Volvo in the garage but it's cold in there in the winter. So we played and I had a hit that you might have heard of. "Hur?r l?get, lilla gumman?" which means, "How's It Hanging, Grandma?" and it was big on the Swedish charts.
