    One of the funniest, most intelligent, most original films.

    Deserves an encore anyway for its invaluable contributions to the vocabulary of rock'n' roll and pop culture.
  3. 80
    The group's members come off more like real musicians than parodists.
  4. 50
    Begs the question: Did the lads from Squatney trail the zeitgeist at every turn, or were cobandleaders David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel simply in touch with their past and ahead of their time?

    80 mins of pure orgasm.

    So good it hold its own genre: Rockumentary. This is so genius. So many laughs and what differentiates it from the us
    ual slapstick comedy is that it feels real and still maintains a decent structure. It is impossible to rate this lower than 10. Collapse
  2. Not only does this succeed at being a satire of rock bands, it also acts as a satire of documentaries themselves. There are many scenes that are memorable and easily quotable lines. A silly, ridiculous, funny mock-rockumentary. Expand
  3. La película es muy privada (pues esta dirigida en un 101% a aquellos que, o bien formaron parte de las filas metaleras de los '80s, o bien lass integran ahora y son conocedores de la historia del género) y eso me encanta. Expand
  4. Witty and good fun, even if it was a bit over done.
