Leave your thoughts about This Is Spinal Tap.
| NetflixJames RocchiMock "rockumentary" is wildly funny and deeply influential. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasScreamingly funny. Few films, if any, can match Spinal Tap for consistent laughs. Every scene is a classic. |
| Chicago TribuneMarc CaroDeserves an encore anyway for its invaluable contributions to the vocabulary of rock'n' roll and pop culture. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullPerhaps the first, and certainly the best, entry into the mockumentary genre. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis Is Spinal Tap is virtually guaranteed to appeal to nearly everyone. The film contains everything from laugh aloud moments to scenes that will have even the most dry, humorless viewers smiling with unrestrained mirth. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineQuite possibly the funniest spoof of all time. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewReiner's brilliantly inventive script and smart visuals avoid all the obvious pitfalls, making this one of the funniest ever films about the music business. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a milestone in American comedy cinema. |
| Empire MagazineSimon BraundReiner's brilliant "rockumentary" sends up its subject matter and the documentary form, with such deft perception that confusing it with the genuine article is an easy mistake to make. |
| The TelegraphJim White80 minutes of total joy, its momentum utterly uncompromised, every single second an invitation to snort uncontrollably. I can hardly wait to watch it again. |
