The Best Mockumentary Ever!

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2004)

Even though it was made 20 years ago it hasn't lost any of its flavor that made it such an incredible original that will without a doubt eventually become a classic. The best part about this was an amazing back up cast that came in for cameos a long time before they were famous including Fran Drescher, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, and Fred Willard. What made it so funny was that even though it was satire a lot of the dialog they were using is how real rockers talk in interviews and such. They did it perfectly and I can see why Christopher Guest and company shot to legendary status right after this even though I'm not always the biggest fan of his. A film very similar to this but for a rap group is "CB4" which is also very comical but this certainly took the cake. The songs are actually decent as well and probably served a basis for "Tenacious D" as an inspiration since they are very close sounding even though "The D" takes it even more over the top. I enjoyed this a lot, I just wish they made it much longer!
Final Jam:
Movies: I wouldn't mind at all!
DVD Purchase: It might make a very nice addition if I do say so myself!
Rental: Didn't go wrong.
