"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.
The mockumentary captures the absurd, ego-driven chaos of aging heavy metal legends with pinpoint accuracy. You will find yourself laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of oversized amplifiers and delusional rockstar posturing.
