This is Spinal Tap

1984 (Rob Reiner) 14A, 87 min
Starring: Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, Rob Reiner

When Tom Waits saw this groundbreaking comedy, he supposedly cried; Eddie Van Halen said, "Everything in that movie happened to me." This is Spinal Tap, which popularized a new genre, the mockumentary, chronicles a faux rock band's waning popularity during their Smell the Glove American tour. In its original review in '84, the New York Times wrote, "Spinal Tap does embody rock-and-roll at its most horrible, and yet This Is Spinal Tap... isn't mean-spirited at all. It's much too affectionate for that. And it stays so wickedly close to the subject that it is very nearly indistinguishable from the real thing." See the hard-rocking cult classic that goes to 11 on the big screen again on June 11 and 12.
