A hidden gem and an instant classic

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2019)

This movie shocked me by being so stupid and so funny that I had to pause it to laugh. As with many movies, it drags in the middle, but st approx 90mins - the length is just right.
The cameos alone could have made the movie, but Lonely Island absolutely kill it. The production values would make you think this a BIG budget, imdb tells me it was a 20mil budget and totally tanked in theatres. Oh well.
There's a whole generation that never saw Spinal Tap and probably wouldn't find it funny even if they did. This could be their Spinal Tap. My husband and I immediately said we'll watch this again.
A great feeling sick or rainy day movie, this movie is so dumb it's perfection. I'm tempted to go watch it again right now in fact. Naked Gun, Hot Fuzz and The Other Guys are my go to hit play comedies when I just need something on to half pay attention to while playing on my phone: add this to this list, bc I'm sure I missed a third of the jokes laughing so hard.
