"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.

"First of all, let's just clarify something: This Is Spinal Tap is the funniest film ever made." - BBC.com
"Rob Reiner’s mockumentary deserves plaudits for the British accents alone." - Times UK
"Reiner, with McKean, Guest and Harry Shearer, have done a great job in creating and portraying characters that are dimwitted, cliched and yet oddly endearing." - Associated Press
"The satire has a deft, wicked touch." - Chicago Sun-Times
