A heady flow of brilliant stupidity.

Christian Science Monitor -
The rock scene hasn't been the same since this hilarious 1984 comedy.

Chicago Sun-Times -
One of the funniest, most intelligent, most original films.

Mr. Showbiz -
So intensely funny that the viewer must hang on every word: comic gems spill forth almost continuously.

Dallas Observer -
Spinal Tap is still on the right side of the fine line between stupid and clever.
