The 1984 "mochumentry" The is Spinal Tap set a new standard in comedy. This film made me laugh so hard I was horse by the time it was finished. Not only was it utterly brillent, but it was something that had never been done before: the fake documentry or the mochumentry if you will. This Rob Riner film (which by the was mostly improvised) changed the way we think about comedy and heavy metal.
So the plot of "This Is Spinal Tap" is that this director makes a documentry about this band named Spinal Tap. There starting there tour of the States named "Smell the Glove" (named after there new album). To say it doesn't go well would be a extreme understatement. To find out why, you have to see the film.
Spinal Tap is a pure treasure, one that will stand the test of time, I would recommend this film to head bangers and belly busters everywhere.
