Get the DVD

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2002)

Spinal Tap is lots of fun and I highly recommend the DVD. First of all, the liner notes are really great. Secondly, the commentary track is terrific. I don't want to give it away, but I'll just say that it is one of the best uses of the commentary track I have seen on any DVD.
The movie has its rough spots but overall is very funny and has many lasting jokes. Christopher Guest is terrific -- I'm a total Christopher Guest fan. It's so fun to see how he changes so much from film to film -- The Princess Bride, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show.
Have fun with Spinal Tap!
