The greatest Moc-umentary of all time

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2004)

Reiner took a chance with McKean and Guest to produce a "movie" that had never been made before. The idea was not only different but took a lot of people to convince it could work. One by one, actors came out to support the film by doing cameos. Billy Crystal, Paul Schaffer, and several other SNL connected stars came out to add their own touch of genius to the project. In the end, you get proof that McKean and Guest are two of the most under appreciated actors / writers of the 80's and 90's. Their fresh brand of comedy has produced some of the most funniest moments in movies and television. This is Spinal Tap remains one of the most original and creative films ever produced in the comedy genre. 20 years later, the film has gained a giant following of devoted fans and comedy writers who have tried to steal from its uniqueness.
