This is Spinal Tap
United States

82 Min
Synopsis
Rob Reiner’s directorial debut has developed into a cult phenomenon. The film that invented the “rockumentary” has now outlasted most of the bands it mocked. Following the ill-fated American comeback tour of an aging heavy metal group, this film has joined the ranks of the greatest comedies ever made. —The Criterion Collection

Great mock-rockumentary about the grandiloquence, stupidity and poor musical taste of the supposedly British heavy metal band Spinal Tap.
Displaying one hilarious sketch after another, while this trio of social misfits meander all over the u.s in their "american tour"
One more thing, the lyrics of most of their songs are hysterical.

Quite possibly the funniest movie I've ever seen. I'm never not in the mood to watch this.

On principle alone, this film deserves the highest possible rating. A mockumentary of a rockumentary! What can be more brilliant than that? Christopher Guest borrowed so much from the Last Waltz… read review
