Well this will probably be a short review. Why? Because I just don't know what to say.

This is Spinal Tap, is a mockumentary, that is a documentary comedy film, about the fictitious and inept band Spinal Tap. The band itself is just downright absurd. They have 2 lead guitarists, a bass player who is always dressed up in some type of bondage, and have gone through at least 7 different drummers because they seem to die in mysterious ways. The absurdity of the lyrics, album covers, and album names demonstrates the craziness of the band.

Not only is the band terrible and ludicrous but the people around them give them no help. The manager carries around a cricket paddle just so he can hit things if he gets mad. And often the people setting up the scenery behind them often screw up which creates epic fails on stage.

The sheer ridicolousness of the band and its groupies and what is what makes the film so comically. I should give it an 11! And remember you can't dust for vomit!!
