A brilliant satire/parody

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2003)

A true testament to the genius of this film and all the principle talents involved is the fact this came out several years before Madonna's "Truth or Dare" concert/documentary movie. I dare anyone to watch Madonna's movie first, then followed by "TIST", and contradict me. It isn't just the witty ad-libs that the cast did, since they worked with no screenplay. It's also the throwaway bits like the cold sores that come and go on the Spinal Tap members, a blink and you miss it cameo by Billy Crystal. Michael McKean's "oinglish" accent just cracks me up everytime, and the "big bottom" song is nothing short of brilliant. The "he choked on vomit, but it wasn't his vomit" bit is hilarious. "You can't dust for vomit. Scotland Yard doesn't have the facilities."
