Movie Reviews of The Return of Spinal Tap
Movie Review: The Majesty of Rock!
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite the sometimes-spotty sound mix (thus only four stars), this is, of course, essential for the Spinal Tap completist. I saw a show on this tour; it was a glorious rock moment, and this is a fine memento.
Summary of The Return of Spinal Tap
The long awaited return of SPINAL TAP! Behind the scenes we take a look at in the 'where are they now' file. The philosophical Nigel Tufnel, the spiritual David St. Hubbins, and the lukewarm Derek Smalls, bring us up to date with their new directions, aThe Return of Spinal Tap is based around Tap's performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1992. In between the footage of Messrs. St. Hubbins, Tufnel, and Smalls performing in front of a huge crowd enthusiastically determined to go along with the joke, there are clips purporting to investigate the band's humble origins in the East London suburb of Squatney, and updates from "rockumentary" director Marty DiBergi and hapless record plugger Artie Fufkin from the original movie. It is the latter component that is the real strength of Return. Though the concert footage faithfully rehashes many of the film's most treasured jokes (the malfunctioning props, the dancing midgets), the real satirical strength of This Is Spinal Tap was never its treatment of heavy metal music (which, after all, is hardly a difficult target). What the first movie did best was illuminate the egomania, paranoia, delusion, and stupidity that are the cornerstones of rock & roll as it is lived. The Return of Spinal Tap is a worthy companion piece. --Andrew Mueller
