Summary: Tapped Into the Funny Bone
Review: There is no better gem in video humour than "This is Spinal Tap". Tap endures. Tap captivates. Remember those movies you knew little about, no preconceived notions, you simply sat and then laughed so hard at every unsuspecting twist and turn in the comedy? Well, Tap is that type of movie. The seriousness dead-pan nature of the band's attempts to make it big are so hilarious that you laugh at the escapades they take in recreating a come back of their former (lack of) glory. Picture a garage band that never really made it, try to recapture the glory of never making it. The songs are musically excellent, and like the rest of the movie, it's acting and script (and improv)are hilarious in how closely they parody real bands. We laugh because we are watching a rock group self-destruct, but everyone but the group iteself knows that it is happening. The difference between these guys and current day musical fabrications like the Backseat Boys and In Stink, bastions of current lows in musicdom,is that these guys parody those that aggrandize themselves. Get serious, watch Tap and have a laugh from start to finish.

Summary: You'll never have to dust to find this video!
Review: Buy this documentary style movie because you'll watch it over and over! It pokes fun at 80's rock bands, the musician's lifestyle, etc. I've watched this movie so many times yet with each viewing I find some new little comedic thing that I missed. Spinal Tap has become such a cult classic that people are always reciting lines from the movie ...and there are so many. How many flicks can you say THAT about! Watch this movie or your funny-bone will be in danger of being crushed by a miniature Stone Henge monument.

Summary: Extremely Funny. See Princess Bride
Review: If there is any evidence that the AFI needs to have their list-making licenses revoked, it is (a) that "This Is Spinal Tap" appeared only 29th on the "100 Funniest American Movies" list, and (b) that it was completely absent from the "100 Best American Movies" collection. There simply has never been a more complete comedy than "This Is Spinal Tap." It sits atop my list as the most clever, witty, and quotable film ever produced.Director Rob Reiner (who also directed "The Princess Bride") shows us the twilight months of the title band, who is almost in denial of their waning popularity. It is a truly accurate portrayal of a washed-up rock group, and perhaps the paragon of satirical films. With the benefit of some of comedy's most talented actors, including Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer, there is no low point to the film. It is delightful to watch the band's almost embarassing decline as they encounter obstacles such as an 18" Stonehenge, ill-proportioned sandwich meat, second billing to a puppet show, and of course exploding drummers. The band's naivte and stupidity, juxtaposed to false confidence, is a formula for humor. Also entertaining are the frequent star cameos, including Paul Schaffer and Billy Crystal. One's entertainment library would simply be void without "This Is Spinal Tap." Besides, this one goes to 11

Summary: Spinal Tap definately.."goes to 11"...Thats 6 more isnt it ?
Review: This Is Spinal Tap was released in 1984 and is an excellent protrayal (and hillarious look at) the rise and fall of a rock band. Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls (Spinal Tap) are documented for 1 year. From 18 inch Stonehenges, to combusting drummers...this "rock or mock- umentary" is one of the most hillarious films of all time. It is being re-released on September 12th and is a must see.....You'll just have to see it for yourself to discover one of the greats in movie history.

Summary: Too bad the rating stars don't go to ELEVEN
Review: A brilliant comedy by the master of subtle and accurate comedy. If you like VH-1's Behind the Music, this is the documentary, er, should I say Rockumentary that started it all. You'll love it!

Summary: AWESOME DVD!
Review: I got an advanced copy of this DVD and it rocks! **WARNING! " Here are some spoilers for everyone out there: The guys who play Spinal Tap in the film do the commentary in full character making the film even more enjoyable. There are 4 music videos: 1. Gimmie Some Money 2. Listen to the flower people 3. Hell Hole 4. Big Bottem There are 3 "Rock and Roll" commercials staring Tap. The famous Cheese Rolling footage, five trailes/tv spots and a press conference from the "Flower People" days (and more!). What is missing on this DVD is the original 20 minute version of the film that appears on the Criterion Collection (which is out of print).

Summary: The best parody of rock 'n roll ever
Review: This movie is the work of sheer genius. Not only is it funny, it pokes fun at rock like never before. You'll never take any rock group seriously after watching this hilarious spoof. The series of sketches never gets tiring as we are being shown a documentary covering a heavy metal group's rise and fall. The characters are hilarious and the lyrics of the songs are even funnier. It's a tribute to their talent that alot of these songs sound quite good! There's actually a small treat of brief appearances of famous people in several scenes. I have never laughed so hard at a movie then sat back and reflected on just how accurately it satired and applied to the real world of rock 'n roll. I recently heard there may be a Spinal Tap II being considered, to which I'll say good luck, you're going to need it going up against the untoppable first effort.

Summary: this is nice
Review: well, as we move to the new millenium, even the most die-hard 80's metal fans have to admit that the whole decade's phenomenon was simply ridiculous. I mean, if Bon Jovi sells 10 million... Well, talking about self-irony, this movie was made at the time the phenomenon started to get big, and it just features all the cliches of the time. Nice work, and a damn funny film! Oh,and remember: in ten years, everyone will be laughing at these Korn-copies, and Fred Durst will be the new Vanilla ice!
