Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2012)

Marty De Bergi is a documentary maker who accompanies Spinal Tap, a rock n roll band on one of their tours which is full of unexpected events. This is a terrific "mockumentary" about a band which is loosing its popularity quite rapidly. The acting is as realistic as it can get. Rob Reiner gets the casting spot on. He himself is brilliant as the documentary maker who gets on screen only when he is asking questions but the look of incredulity on his face is priceless. There are many laugh out loud moments in the movie. For me, the airport sequence easily took the cake. The songs are sometime juvenile but still catchy and memorable. The movie looks a bit dated but still is very funny. 3.5 out of 5 for this cult comedy.
