Mini-Review #3: This Is Spinal Tap

This Is Spinal Tap... I don't know if I enjoyed this film or not. If the director's goal was to make the viewer detest the fake band Spinal Tap then I suppose he was successful, because I couldn't stand those guys. I think it may have been the fake British accents that they drove into the back of my skull. It really was almost painful to watch these men playing the roles of people that stupid, and I found myself praying to whatever that these stereotypes weren't 100% true in all cases (but in the vein of hair metal, I'm pretty sure it is). Granted, many parts were pretty funny, in a very dry sort of way (fully intentional though). This film was an accurate depiction/exaggeration of life in a rock band during that specific time period, which I understand. It's just that I really didn't like the snobbish attitudes that most of the characters had, which, again, I understand was partly the point of the film. In short, I don't like hair metal or glam rock (or what have you) very much, therefore I did not like the characters in this movie. I might watch it again, if I ever happened upon it midway through. Sorry, Spinal Tap... you're cack.
