The CinePearl Take

This Is Spinal Tap is a 1980s English film in the musical mould — expect songs woven into the storytelling. Rob Reiner directs and the script comes from Harry Shearer. Sean Frye and J. J. Barry are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1984, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 81 minutes, it keeps a brisk pace.
