Review of This Is Spinal Tap (1984) by Andrew U — 12 Aug 2009
Without question, I would say this is one of the three funniest movies I have ever seen. The total absurdity of the world of rock and roll is very fertile comic ground, and the three comedians (in long wigs and ridiculous British accents) reap it for all it's worth.
I'm tempted to sit here and try to convey some of the humor by describing situations or quoting some of the quotes, but that would be a waste of time-- it wouldn't be as funny. Not even close.
So rather than ruining it, let me just say that if you haven't seen this movie, don't wait until you find it on DVD-- get your hands on it in any form you can. VHS, beta, reel-to-reel, whatever it takes.
