"These Go Up to Eleven."

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2012)

The perfect rating that I should give to one of the funniest movies ever made in the past 30 years.
Rob Reiner (STAND BY ME, THE PRINCESS BRIDE) directs and stars as Marty DiBergi, a TV commercial director-turned-aspiring filmmaker who is determined to capture the ups-and-downs from one of England's legendary and loudest heavy metal bands...SPINAL TAP! Well, that's not really the behind-the-scenes story.
But it gets good.
Six years after their first American tour, Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) embark the devastatingly hilarious trials and tribulations of canceled gigs, pyrotechnics gone awry, negative reviews, getting lost backstage, and worst of all, exploding drummers.
THIS IS SPINAL TAP is an authentic cult classic filled with quotable dialog ("It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.") and memorable tunes ("Big Bottom" and "Hell Hole") that will sure to split your sides for years to come.
