This Is Spinal Tap

Spinal Tap, England’s loudest metal band—which cranks its amplifiers’ volume knobs all the way up to eleven—is trying to make a splash on its U.S. tour. Directed by Rob Reiner, this mockumentary paints an absurd portrait of the music industry, filled with faded leather outfits, half-empty venues, and ego clashes. The aging rockers, trying to shine on stage while getting lost in the backstage hallways, have you laughing at every turn.
