Summary: Hysterically Funny
Review: I absolutely love this dvd. If you need one reason to buy it, then buy it for the audio commentary. Their commentary explains Nigel's ear infection, Marty's itchy beard, and many more hysterical moments. The commentary is so funny, I always keep it on when I watch the movie. Besides the commentary, the dvd contains many deleted scenes and other features. Buy this dvd now, you won't regret it!

Summary: Good evening, Cleveland!
Review: The best mockumentary ever made just got better!Rob Reiner's groundbreaking "This Is Spinal Tap" was first released some 16 years ago and quickly became a cult classic. Christopher Guest and Co.'s deadpan dissection of heavy metal foibles is as applicable to the Era of the Boy Band as it was to the 80s. The DVD is a treasure trove for Tap fans. In addition to over one hour (!) of additional mockumentary footage, the DVD contains music videos, an interview with Reiner in character, promotional materials, and the funniest audio commentary track you will ever hear. Face it, Tap fans---this one goes to 11!

Summary: Classic Movie
Review: This was a great movie which I could watch over and over again. It is definately one of the funniest movies ever made. For those who feel it is stupid, you'd be surprised how realistic it actually is for musicians. In the years I was in rock bands, I encountered so many of the topics in the movie - the arguments, band meetings, people quitting and rejoining, new band direction when member leaves, name changes... they are not as exaggerated in the movie as you may think. I highly recommend Spinal Tap for anyone, but it is a must see for musicians! One thing I noticed about this DVD was text that was originally in the movie seems to be missing, like when Paul Shaeffer keeps introducing himself, and his character name is then shown on the screen below. Has anyone else noticed this?

Summary: Christopher Guest's crowning achievement
Review: This is the movie that turned me on to Christopher Guest's unique style of subtle comedy (though This is Spinal Tap is hardly subtle). After watching Best of Show and Waiting for Guffman, it's clear that this is disproportionately Guest's movie, despite the (obvious and extremely beneficial) shared writing credits between him, McKean, Shearer, and Reiner. I recommend this movie to pretty much everyone who has an interest in music (especially the music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's) and a healthy sense of humor. No one is immune to this satire, with pretty clear (and not so clear) jabs at the Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and countless other groups. Add to that a "fake" music group that has about as much musical talent as some of the "real" groups from the era that they're satirizing, and you've got a masterpiece of a movie. This DVD takes it another step and adds in over an hour of cut footage that adds a lot to the story, and adds a lot more laughs. It would have been nice to have the option to plug the outtakes back into the movie in their original places (like in the X-Men DVD), but merely having them there is a big plus in itself. Other extras, like commentary from the characters, music videos for some of their songs, multiple trailers and TV advertisement spots, and other more minor extras make this a must have DVD for anyone who enjoys this type of movie.

Summary: The Best
Review: This is so clever that it hurts. People who dont get this type of comedy are the same people who think Friends is the greatest comedy show ever made. This is comedy for real comedy fans.

Summary: Not to be viewed with a full bladder...
Review: This is the film that can make me soil myself over and over again. Clever cameos from Fran Drescher, Billy Crystal, and Paul Shaffer are just the tip of the iceburg. Anyone with an appreciation for Zeppelin's "Song Remains the Same" and other rockumentaries will have a ball with this film. The lyrics are a trasure-trove of obscene innuendo, Ringo-like euphamisms, and senseless combinations of bizarre phrases. It's a wonder that they never took a Grammy for "Big Bottom", where, as any Taphead knows, "the bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'". Buy this film and laugh your "bottom" off!

Summary: Question from an Iron Maiden fan......
Review: This good movie is made even better in its DVD format. Something nags me though. Are Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden related or are they the same people? Am I alone when I say they look so much alike?

Summary: Tonight we're gonna rock you!
Review: ...There's a reviewer down the way who calls him/herself, THE CRITIC - Ignore them! If you find Spinal Tap stupid, you're just not smart enough to get it! There's so much to love about this movie! The writing is fantastic, both in the mock-rock songs and the script. The characters are so memorable and endearing, that it's impossible to choose my favorite - bottom line: OWN THIS FILM! If you like rock n roll and great satire (aren't they one and the same?), there's never been a better way to laugh with at it and with it.
