(1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1   4.5/5 "Perhaps the first, and certainly the best, entry into the mockumentary genre."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 3.5/4 "Scores an 11 (out of 10) for sheer inspired lunacy but it's the writers' unexpected fondness for their subject matter that puts the film in a class all its own."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth B "The satire is ever so refreshingly played straight, is seemingly benign and dead-on funny."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz A "There have been plenty of mockumentaries since 1984, but ... none has come close to matching this one."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A mediocre satire of heavy rock bands."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/4 "The film is a composite of classic moments, all of which we sense could have happened to any of the classic heavy metal bands -- or at least to those whose members combined delusions of greatness with low I.Q.s."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Although the movie is hilarious, I think it is the undeniable human nature of the loser characters that has kept the movie alive for so long."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/5 "Mock "rockumentary" is wildly funny and deeply influential."   Netflix   James Rocchi 8/10 "...it probably helps not to like the music in order to appreciate the satire more."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 9/10 "THIS IS SPINAL TAP is simply one of the greatest rockumentaries ever..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "Quite possibly the funniest spoof of all time."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "Mildly funny, not a whole lot better than the best Christopher Guest mockumentary I'd seen before this, 'Best in Show.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "There had been countless documentary spoofs before This Is Spinal Tap, but this inspired put-on was the first to actually capture the texture and style of real documentary."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1
