- Synopsis
- Marti DiBergi is a film-maker who decides to make a documentary, a rockumentary actually, about the world's loudest band, the British heavy metal group Spinal Tap. The movie is in fact a biting satire and spoof of the whole rock and roll scene that passes itself off as a real documentary of a real band. Hilarious behind-the-scenes footage is combined with faux-concert clips to breath life into the imaginary group.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Deserves an encore for its invaluable contributions to the vocabulary of rock'n' roll and pop culture."
-
"This is surely the funniest movie ever made about rock and roll, and one of the funniest things about it is that it may also be one of the most accurate"
-
"It's no wonder young musicians say they learned to be rock stars from 'This Is Spinal Tap'. It came to satirize and stayed -- and stays on -- to celebrate."
-
"Hilarious pseudo-documentary spoof of a British rock group that was so on-target in its satire, many viewers took it for the real thing."
