Watch This Is Spinal Tap For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Great Film overall

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

On TVTropes, I constantly heard the phrase "Up To Eleven" being used. I even frequently used it myself when editing the website, even though I had never seen the movie. The funny thing is that even in the movie itself they make fun of this. It features the interviewer wondering why they don't just make ten louder. I didn't even recognize Harry Shearer in this. He's such a talented entertainer I have to acknowledge him.The funniest line is probably when they mention choking on vomit, but not his own vomit. The biggest appeal to this movie is probably how realistic it is. Spinal Tap isn't a real band, but they certainly seem like one here. With all the controversy and crazy things going on bands, it's great to have a piece of satire like this. Everyone acts like they are in a real documentary and while not as good as "Borat", still a significant film. I'll ignore "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn!" over this. ***1/2

We couldn't finish it. It might be funny if you're a 12 year old boy. Otherwise there's no accounting for taste. Don't waste you're time. Just avoid. Don't watch. It's an hour and 20 minutes of your life you'll never get back. We can't believe people like this. Seriously. This is just junk. Nothing good to say at all.

Filmed in documentary style, this fiction film chronicles the ups and downs on a rock band on tour with a penchant for outrageousness. The songs are highly memorable throughout (especially 'Big Bottom' and 'Stonehenge') and kooky touches include a party in which all the waiters are mimes and, of course, the amplifier that goes up to 11. This is not, however, the easiest film to get through. Innovative as Rob Reiner's choice to shoot the film as a mockumentary no doubt is, the content soon grows repetitive with the band members saying one dumb thing after another, whether it be professing that spontaneous combustion in humans exists or stating that the insides of a human body look green and blue. Much better dark humour comes in the form of a running gag in which it is gradually revealed that dozens of drummers in the band have died in mysterious circumstances over the years, with the band's current drummer claiming that "the law of averages" should keep him safe (!) - and yet, the focus here is always on the ridiculous things the band members say and the misfortunes they experience along the way. Along such lines, the film pokes sharply at the notion that talent and intelligence are not always aligned in life, but whether this dynamic is enough to sustain the film is debatable. Certainly, the film has a hardy fan-base with some regarding it as one of the funniest films ever made, and as it is often said, comedy is the most subjective genre out there. This is a worthwhile movie, but probably best appreciated by those keenly interested in rock music.

Even though it's considered as the best movies out there, I just don't think it would fit into that category. I don't understand why IMDb have this movie a 8/11 rating. It's nowhere near that first of all and second, you hardly understand what the hell is going on. Yeah I know they are being interviewed by a Marty DiBergi dude who randomly interviews them. However when they start talking without the music, they really talk too quick, moan and complain a lot. That's the reason why I just don't understand what they are saying.I did try to like this movie but it just wasn't for me. The music is OK, I wouldn't get too over excited! It's disappointing that I didn't like it but I would suggest this to music fans!
