Not as funny as I thought it would be...

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2012)

I was expecting this movie to be a bit more humorous than it turned out. I guess there were a few laugh-out-loud moments like the 'stonehenge' bit and the 'bizarre gardening accident' comments, but for the most part I just found the characters to be portrayed as too visibly stupid to be of any enjoyment. Christopher Guest's character making dumb comments isn't that funny to me.
Overall, I just found the nature of the movie to be too obvious of a mockery, if you know what I mean. It's even cut and edited in a way that doesn't feel natural as a documentary would. Maybe my personal enjoyment was affected because I've seen too many rockumentaries already, like 'Hail Hail Rock n Roll', 'Woodstock', 'Gimme Shelter' and 'Stop Making Sense', and most of the jokes and tropes just didn't seem all that witty or fresh when you can see all of the drama/backstage fighting for real by watching an actual doc.
Oh well, maybe this is a reflection on how films with cult followings can be misleading, and the original responses are more accurate.
