It lived up to its name!

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2006)

This is Spinal Tap!!! I am 25 years old and have been a musician since I was 7. I just saw this movie yesterday!! I have heard SO MUCH about this, and every time I say "I've never seen Spinal Tap" I get a bunch of surprised looks. This movie lived up to its expectations. Truly a good comedy and spoof on this idiotic characteristics of the egotistical musician. The lead guitar player (I'm not sure of his name) did SUCH a great acting job. He was hilarious!! And, believe it or not, these far-feched scenarios that you find this band in are not so far-feched at all. Trust me!! Musicians truly are the most interesting and bizarre species on this earth, and Spinal Tap takes that fact and spins it in such a comical direction as to make it the cult classic that it is today. I would have to say that not EVERYONE would like this movie (my girlfriend hated it) but if you're a musician, if you are a music lover, if you're a rodey, manager, past musician, groupie, sound editor, record producer, recording engineer, etc., SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
