Still the Funniest Rockumentary Ever Created

This is Spinal Tap has the distinction of being the funniest rockumentary ever created. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer literally become the heavy metal band that they are playing. The movie shot in verite documentary style by Rob Reiner never ceases to hit all the situations of life on the road of a touring band on its last tour. In addition there are many cameos by some of Hollywoods funniest stars.

The disc that I viewed is the MGM Special Edition and it does not disappoint. In addition to a new digital transfer of the film we get the presentation in Dolby 5.1 which adds a lot to the "heavy metal" concert footage.

The disc features an audio commentary done by the band in character, over an hour of deleted scenes, music videos, commercials, an updated interview with Rob Reiner in his Marti DeBergi persona and more.

This is one that is worth checking out.

Intravenous de Milo

I've finally seen this for the first time in 2008, and I'm 44 years old, making me a contemporary of Harry Shearer or something. Wow, talk about being behind the times.

There was no way this movie could live up to the hype. No way any movie could live up to what I heard about this when it was new. And a coworker gave away the best gag in the airport, which I'm not doing because I'm not such a spud.

Anyway, I smiled a lot and chuckled a time or two. I enjoyed the music, too, which was unexpected, really. But mainly, I came away from this wishing that Spinal Tap was a real band, and that's a nice trick, don't you think?

In short, this isn't "laugh out loud funny" as I was told over and over (and over) again, but it's certainly worth watching.

If you don't laugh all the way through this movie...

... you're a preserved moose.

This is a masterpiece of satire and deliciously detailed comedy. It also bulges with some of the daftest, most accurate send-ups of how terrible rock lyrics often are - and how we've all bought the records by the ton! - an outrageously OTT Nigel Tufnel guitar-solo of a film!

Classic

The mockumentary classic! If you haven't seen it, and like Christopher Guest films, there's no question.
