Maybe it's good for someone but it's arguable. They TALK whole flick like "look at us we pretending to be rock band and crew" very rarely throwing subtle jokes.
It's Sacha Baron Cohen type of acting but virtually without jokes.
I like it when idiots don't love the films that I do.
It's very reassuring.
Thought I was havin' trouble with my adding. It's all right now
i agree!
shareI don't think I could ever be friends with or respect the opinion, of anyone who didn't like Spinal Tap.
shareDon't worry, ssseuth is really a deep cover Mensa member trying to make idiots everywhere look worse than they already do. He isn't really as dumb as all his posts would make you think...

"No Silicon Heaven? Preposterous! Where would all the calculators go?"
To be honest ssseuth there wouldn't be Sacha Baron Cohen if it wasn't for ST. It is a seminal film that led the way for mocumentaries and is loved the world over...I actually feel sorry for you.
shareBut it should be other way round.
share(?) Sorry ssseuth - your last comment made NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. In fact, very little of what you have written is barely coherent. You criticise the movie for an overuse of dialogue, when documentaries by their very definition are often dialogue-heavy. And frankly, if you think that there is a lack of subtlety in this movie, you've clearly missed the point, eg: "People were still booing him when we were on stage". When one considers the impact/influence this style of filmmaking has had on popular culture - no Ricky Gervais and therefore no "The Office," no Sacha Baron Cohen, along with Larry David's brand of mocumentary in "Curb Your Enthusiasm", it is clear that Spinal Tap is one of the most influential comedies ever made.
But there again, you probably thought that Bruno was subtle didn't you?
You seem to be confused. Please visit your local doctor and then reread what I actually wrote.
"very little of what you have written is barely coherent"
Yet you answered my critique.
I'm an English teacher - successfully deciphering misjudged or incoherent arguments is part of my job, though to be fair, it was more exhaustive work than usual when scrutinising the inconsistencies in your "critique."
share12 years old internet troll is a teacher? You wish.
shareIf you don't understand subtelty and need the Sacha Baron Cohen "shove it in your face" style, then that is your problem, not a problem with This is Spinal Tap.
As someone else pointed out, Sacha Baron Cohen would not be doing what he does as he does it without this film.
Besides, is the difference isn't that great. Movies like Borat and Bruno are just lots of talk interspersed with UNsubtle jokes.

I didn't write jokes weren't subtle. Learn how to read.
shareBecause you can't write, I took your comment to mean that they rarely make jokes, and when they do, they are sbtle.
Let's make a deal, you learn to write, and I will learn to read.

I can write but you definitely should learn how to read.

Don't argue with the ignorant, because it's impossible to win.

1. You can't argue, you showed it.
2. There's no need to argue cause everyone can read your posts, stupid.
Hey Robbmonster - seriously, don't bother. I know you're right, the IMDB rating for "Spinal Tap" and the film's well-documented international acclaim proves you're right, as does the endorsement of the movie from a number of popular comedians worldwide. Clearly, ssseuth is trying very hard and using his (admittedly limited) wits to defend his nonsensical gibberish, so it’s just best to humour him. That's right ssseuth - we're all wrong and you're right. Interestingly though, didn't you claim that it was an irony that "nobody cares" when referring to a previous post I wrote?
shareOh, and just to save you the trouble ssseuth, I thought I’d pre-empt you by writing your response for you:
“Shut up child...” (what’s with all the children references anyway?) “...as I cannot respond on an intellectual level, I’ll just call you “retarded” or something, since that’s the limit of my mental ability.”
There you go ssseuth – no thanks necessary.
You should really learn how to argue. Read article "argument" in Wikipedia for example.
sharewow you really are an imbecile. criticizing this other guy for not being able to argue when in fact your so called arguments are so repetitious. its hilarious when ppl post on here thinking they know what the hell their talking about. here ill get to your level - YOURE ARGUMENTS SUCK D U M B A S S!

shareI had the same opinion the first time I watched it. 25 years and about 100 viewings later, I now see how brilliant it is. Get yourself a DVD copy of it. Watch it about 100 times. Then post again. You sound like you watched it once and you're probably way too young to get half the jokes. Keep watching and get educated.
Very good point, his posts are rather intellectually limited, and at first I just assumed he wasn't that bright, but you're probably right about his age. When he's older he'll understand it better. I just saw it last night and thought it was absolutely hilarious but had to explain some of the jokes to my sister.

Spinal Tap ain't got nothing on this.
I agree, this movie is too slow-moving and very cliche.
