I have to say there were
parts of this rockumentary that were very enjoyable. For every rock fan it
salutes every group from the Beatles, Led Zepplin, and onward. Rob Reiner gives
it a seemingly realistic feel, going so far as casting himself as the
interviewer Marty DiBergi. As far as the band goes, Spinal Tap probably could
be passed off as a real band as well, with real songs, album covers, and
instrumentation. I think that makes the film so funny because we are seemingly
the only ones who realize how silly they are. In their rock world amps that go
up to 11 make sense and their everyday interactions are not even a bit funny.
They didn't mean them to be but for the audiences watching this epic failure of
a U.S. tour unfold, we cannot help but smile at Spinal Tap. There was quite a
lot of strong language but I thought the concept of the film was clever and
there were some decently funny moments such as Stonehenge.
4/5 Stars
