This Is Spinal Tap

I saw this in the theater and while there were a few funny moments, as a die hard metalhead found it extremely annoying. You could just as easily mock any music genre and I'm tired of people quoting this dumb thing as if it's a real documentary.

One of those films that I’ve always meant to watch, but never got around to it. Until now. I’m not 100% but I think this is the original mockumentary. I was actually surprised how funny this was.

fun and fast-paced rockumentary that’s paved the way for all kinds of musical comedies since. solid performances and witty writing, could’ve been a bit funnier and more fleshed out but still entertains the whole way through. crank it to eleven

Cult classic

Equal parts satire & love letter to rock n' roll.  Not every joke lands (esp. not the more vulgar stuff), but so many gags are iconic, and I was chuckling for much of the runtime. Fantastic performances. "Stonehenge" is unironically a jam (the keyboards!) until the goofy scream.
