Summary: One of the best DVD's I've ever seen.
Review: I've already reviewed the movie, so now I'll review this particular DVD. It has more special features than I've ever seen. First off, the crazy amount of deleted scenes is... well... crazy. There's over an hour of deleted footage, which is a great thing. Many of the deleted scenes are hilarious. They add alot to the movie. Moving on to the "Catching Up With Marti Di Bergi" bit. This is also extremely funny. Rob Reiner is a funny guy. My favorite special feature is probably the music videos because I love Gimme Some Money and (Listen To Me) The Flower Children. They're two of my favorite songs from the movie. The Hell Hole video is pretty good too. However, I wasn't too impressed by the Big Bottom video, because it's basically just the concert footage from the movie with the studio version of the song as the music. The rest of the special features are mostly just trailers and commercials and tv spots, which are also cool, but I'm not a huge fan. I've not listened to the commentary yet, but I'm sure it's a hoot. If you're a fan of great packed DVD's, this is the DVD for you.

Summary: Spinal Tap Jams!!!!
Review: One of my favorite movies of all time showing the hard ships of being in a heavy metal band during the 80s. Spinal Tap started in the sixties and had a big hit with "Listen To The Flower People" but like Deep Purple, changed from a psychedelic influenced pop band to more hard metal driven rock. Singer/guitarist David St. Hubbins is one of the greatest singers in metal history, I put him up there with Quiet Riot's Kevin DuBrow and Mark Slaughter plus St. Hubbins kind of reminds me of that dude that played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley. Great DVD loaded with extras, I also recommend Spinal Tap's cds Shark Sandwich and Smell The Glove, the latter of which Metallica totally ripped off with their 'black' album...I think Lars & the boys should start paying Spinal Tap some royalties.

Summary: This movie crosses the fine line between clever and stupid.
Review: This movie is great. I'm not sure why, but it is. I enjoy the character development. I love the character of Nigel. I hate David's girlfriend. This is an all-around great movie. Great performances. Truly a comedy gem.

Summary: The thicker the cushion, the sweeter the pushin' ...
Review: Rob Reiner's "This is Spinal Tap," the funniest film ever made, was the first official mockumentary from writer-star Christopher Guest, who later released "Best in Show," "A Mighty Wind" and the absolutely brilliant "Waiting for Guffman." Centered around the disastrous American tour of aging, bad rock "legends" Spinal Tap, the film manages both broad, naughty humor and occasional wink-wink parody of rock concert films that were released in the late 1970s and early 1980s. And though this review is making "Spinal Tap" sound rather studied and boring, it's anything but. It's clever, silly and highly quotable, the kind of movie you and your friends will quote back and forth to one another years after watching it. And the performance of "Stonehenge" is, hands down, the funniest moment I've ever seen in a film. Every time I watch that scene, and I've seen the film about 75 times since my first viewing in 1998, I fall on the floor, giggling so hard that I can barely breathe. This is an absolutely fantastic film. I won't go all cliche and borrow its most famous quote, saying that the film "goes to 11," but it does. Oh wait, I just did ... Great movie. Great soundtrack. A must-own.

Summary: Outstanding film and a loaded DVD
Review: This movie is perfect. Great acting, great writing (and improv), and laugh-out-loud comedy. The DVD is excellent. The picture is perfect, the sound mix is great, and there is enough deleted material to almost double the length of the film. You can't go wrong here.

Summary: This movie is turned up to 11!
Review: Sorry.. had to sneak the most widely known phrase from Spinal Tap into my review somewhere. To sum it up in one sentence: This movie is awesome. I've wanted to see Spinal Tap for years.. I was 9 when it came out, and wanted to see it then... my parents wouldn't let me. I eventually forgot about it, and didn't have a chance to see it until 19 years later. (I feel old now.) At any rate, this movie is just superb, following the waning career of British heavy metal band Spinal Tap. Filmed just like a documentary, this film is genius. (Which explains why it didn't do very well in theatres.. the general populace tends to take fluff, such as Titanic, over genius.) Before I watched, I was expecting it to be something like Airplane.. just insane, nutsy comedy constantly.. rather, I found something that mirrored a real documentary.. some of it seemed to be serious for a while, before descending into side splitting humor. The music makes fun of other bands.. most notable to me is "Stonehenge", which seems to be making fun and paying homage (at the same time) to Led Zeppelin. Finally.. the most impressive part is that everyone learned to play the songs.. it's actually Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean playing their instruments and singing... no bad dubovers or mouthing of lyrics. This just added so much to the film itself. (Indeed, they actually 'toured' several clubs for a few months prior to filming to work on their performance.) I cannot possibly reccomend this film in any stronger terms. An absolute must see, even if you hate this kind of music.

Summary: Hysterical! A Comedy Classic!
Review: I loved this movie when I first saw it twenty years ago. I have seen it a number of times since then and I have laughed so hard every time. The story of a sixties "flower power" band turned heavy metal in the eighties still holds its own in the 00's. The performances by the stars-you really believe that they are these singers-are classics. Plus you get to see a young Fran Drescher (pre Nanny) and Billy Crystal (pre When Harry Met Sally) in small but very funny parts.
The DVD improves this movie. The voice over commentary of the band members-in character-is every bit as funny as the movie itself. They never stop talking and making you laugh. Even if you own the vhs, you still should get the dvd. It's that funny.
