A Spinal Tap Reunion: The 25th Anniversary London Sell-Out

1992 · 108 min

A warm, silly hangout with old friends, full of deadpan jokes and affectionate mockery of rock stardom.

Overview
Spinal Tap is back in a whole new feature-length rockumentary. Go behind the scenes and find out where the somewhat-less-than-fab three are now -- and where it all began in Squatney, England. Also, catch up with director Marty DiBergi, ex-Polymer marketing whiz Artie Fufkin, and Jeanine, who now owns a shop specializing in itchy Irish clothing.
