Every musician should be forced to watch this film!

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 1999)

Spinal Tap is one of the funniest and witty films ever made. Every musician I have ever known has seen this film and loves it just as much as I do. I am afraid that non-musicians, or at least those not into music will not appreciate this film's humor. There are so many "in" jokes about the music industry, that people who only listen to the radio while driving their car will not "get it".
For those of "us" who "get it", we realize that Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest have created a film that should be on display at the Smithsonian (or at least the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame).
McKean, Guest, along with Harry Shearer have tricked many people into believing that they are a legitimate band. Come to think of it, they could be. Do yourself a favor and rent this movie. If you are a musician, go and buy the DVD.
