Strong recommendation of this movie to anyone

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2003)

This Is Spinal Tap is arguably one of the funniest movies of the last thirty years. I have seen it at least twenty or thirty times and have found something new in it with each viewing. Reiner, Guest, Shearer, and McKean did a phenomenal job writing and acting the movie. The fact that the actors honed their musical skills to actually BE THE BAND and play and write all of the music speaks volumes for their commitment to this masterpiece. Movie and music fans who are "in the know" still quote lines from Spinal Tap to this day. (i.e. "Hello Cleveland", "This one goes to eleven", etc) I have a son named Nigel and I sometimes jokingly tell people that he is named after the lead guitarist from Spinal Tap. People who do not "get" this movie should try harder because it is one of those movies that just gets better over time.
