British band Spinal Tap is filmed by Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner) in this parody. The band is followed by the camera crew on their tours, concerts, and there are also really satirical interviews with the director. The band does a lot of silly things, from mistaking people at parties to creating conflicts within the band. The drama and emotions are over the top and ridiculous.
One of the interesting things about the documentary is how it stereotypes rock bands from the 1980's with the events that occur in the mockumentary, most of which are over the top. Another thing that I found interesting was the silly things they did during their concerts and also the relationship conflicts they had off stage. The relationship conflicts showed how they were as individuals in the band and how that affected them. It almost seemed like a feature length narrative.
This is Spinal Tap was funny, very satirical towards the 80's rock bands, and creative in their humour. But besides that there was nothing very special about this film.
