A Spinal Tap Reunion: The 25th Anniversary London Sell-Out (1992 TV Movie)

SPINAL TAP REUNION - DAMP SQUIB

[6/10 · 1 November 1999]

Mildly disappointing "reunion" of the fictional band made famous by the wonderful mockumentary, THIS IS SPINAL TAP. Most of the film consists of concert footage, and though the actors do a more than credible job on-stage, you come away wishing there had been more interviews and gags. Almost all the best songs were featured in the original movie, although there is a wonderfully cynical finale. Not bad, but on a scale of 1 to 11, a very modest 6.
