Summary - Perfect 5.0

Christopher Guest is a genius, and as with all of his other movies (A Mighty Wind, Best In Show, etc), this mockumentary is a home run. It follows a band, Spinal Tap, as they go on their disastrous world tour. Because I have been touring the world for the past 4 years in a band, I am in situations ALL THE TIME where my bandmates and I go, “Well, this is a Spinal Tap moment.”

Definitely a must see — this movie turned the musical world up to 11!
