This film is funny, very funny!

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2001)

You can study an analyze this film as much as you want, but when it comes down to it is a bloody funny movie. There are possibly more funny moments in this film than in any film since "Life Of Brian". All the main characters are extremely well acted, and they manage to pull the British accents and mannerisms off perfectly. Even the humour seems to have a very British feel.
Standouts include, the amps which go to 11, Nigel's hilarious guitar solo, the 18 inch Stonehenge("in danger of being crushed by a dwarf"), the band being forced to perform Derek's freeform jazz number ("Jazz Odyssey") after Nigel quits, David's Yoko like girlfriend, Derek getting trapped in the pod which won't open, and the band getting lost on the way to the stage.
To top it all off the songs are actually pretty good, as well as being very funny. This Is Spinal Tap is a film which is a classic and highly influential comedy, and one which deserves to be in a lot more video/DVD collections.
