Review of This Is Spinal Tap (1984) by Tom R — 21 Mar 2013
(5 Stars) I wish I could give this an 11. This is Spinal Tap is a hilarious rock mockumentary that's still amusing and relevant to this day. It's easy to see why most people thought it was real back when it was released because of the disturbingly accurate satire of heavy metal culture and the documentary format.
All the characters aren't very smart, which leads to some extremely comical situations, like a cucumber at an airport, a shin-high model of Stonehenge, an offkey visit to Elvis Presley's grave, and a blacker-than-black album release.
This is Spinal Tap is truly a movie you must see before you die not only because of its effect on the film and music industries, but because it's so hysterical.
