Synopsis – What to Expect from “This Is Spinal Tap”
This Is Spinal Tap is a 1984 rock mockumentary directed by Rob Reiner. The movie follows the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap, as they embark on a tour across the United States to promote their new album, Smell the Glove.
The movie follows the band as they encounter numerous obstacles along the way, from mismanaged tour dates to malfunctioning stage props. Throughout the tour, the band is followed by a documentary film crew, capturing the band’s interactions with each other, their fans, and the people they meet along the way.
The band’s lead singer, David St. Hubbins, and lead guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, are portrayed as bumbling musicians who are oblivious to the band’s lack of success. The two are often at odds with each other, leading to a number of comedic moments.
The band’s drummer, Derek Smalls, is portrayed as a lovable, but dimwitted, buffoon who often gets into trouble. The band’s bassist, Jeanine Pettibone, is portrayed as a quiet, but competent, musician who often has to step in and save the band from their own mistakes.
The movie culminates in a disastrous performance at an outdoor music festival, where the band’s technical difficulties lead to a chaotic performance. The band’s misadventures on the road and their eventual triumph at the festival provide a comedic and heartwarming conclusion to the movie.
