Here's where the phrase started

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2018)

On TVTropes, I constantly heard the phrase "Up To Eleven" being used. I even frequently used it myself when editing the website, even though I had never seen the movie. The funny thing is that even in the movie itself they make fun of this. It features the interviewer wondering why they don't just make ten louder. I didn't even recognize Harry Shearer in this. He's such a talented entertainer I have to acknowledge him.
The funniest line is probably when they mention choking on vomit, but not his own vomit. The biggest appeal to this movie is probably how realistic it is. Spinal Tap isn't a real band, but they certainly seem like one here. With all the controversy and crazy things going on bands, it's great to have a piece of satire like this. Everyone acts like they are in a real documentary and while not as good as "Borat", still a significant film. I'll ignore "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn!" over this. ***1/2
