Summary: 5 Stars
There are too many classic lines from this master mockumentary and most are quoted in the many favorable reviews herein. Some of my favorites are "We would love to stand here and chat, but we got to get to the lobby to wait for the limosine" and "this is my new special friend." What can I say, this movie never grows tired to me. Although it wasn't the first mockumentary (I believe Albert Brooks "Real Life" was one, if not the first) this still is considered by most THE mocumentary that now inspired movie hits like Borat.
Please watch this, and then watch it again if you din't get it the frist time, and find yourself growing to like this really funny movie.
Movie Review: It gets my vote for all-time funniest movie
Summary: 5 Stars
"This Is Spinal Tap" has to stand as one of the greatest parodies ever produced. To me, there is nothing about this movie that misses, and it is one of those rare movies that actually caused me to fall of my seat because I was laughing so hard (during the Stonehenge scene). Ostensibly a documentary, or a "rockumentary" as Rob Reiner's Marty DeBergi says, it is a portrayal of Spinal Tap's implosion and rebirth by quickly moving from one gag to another. Anyone who loves and follows heavy metal music, especially the new wave of British heavy metal movement (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc.), will appreciate how well Spinal Tap skewers the stereotypes. Those gags come rapid-fire, from stage prop malfunctions to songs heavy on arcane mythological imagery to inter-band feuds. The earlier heavy metal acts are also not spared, such as in Christopher Guest's absolutely hysterical send-up of a Jimmy Page guitar solo. Throw in some oblique references to even the most venerable acts in music, such as the Beatles, and you have a movie that pulls off the rare feat of being incredibly silly, bitingly witty, critical of heavy metal music, and paying tribute to the genre all at the same time. I've seen Spinal Tap's formula copied many times since, but never with the same effect or quality. This truly is the archetype for mockumentary parodies. As with most DVD's, this is packed with lots of extras. The commentary by the principles, who stay in character, is a treat, as are the song videos, fake commercials, trailers, etc.Movie Review: Goes to 11
Summary: 5 Stars
Wouldn't have thought to buy this because (like everybody else) I've seen it a million times. But I got it for a b-day gift and the extras are so good I may have to watch it a million more!
