Note : A mockumentary that needs no introduction, about the band that needs no introduction, this is, of course, Spinal Tap. The definitive spoof of self-serious 70s rockumentaries, chronicling the 1982 American tour of Spın̈al Tap, "one of England's loudest bands", supporting the imminent release of their new album, "Smell the Glove".

As audiences dwindle, one of the band members brings in his wife as a replacement manager, props and stage shows fail, and tensions run high, the interpersonal relationships of the five bandmembers (well, mostly three of them), as well as their past, the tragic fates having befallen their previous drummers, and amps that go up to eleven. Also, Fran Drescher makes a small appearance.

This is a good-enough remaster, not super sharp, but fine image-wise, and a lot of work has clearly gone into the in-character commentary, and the 5.1 remaster sounds great.
