Spinal Tap II: The End Continues

Dir.: Rob Reiner
| 82 minutes

In 1984, This Is Spinal Tap became a cult classic that hilariously mocked rock bands. Now, 41 years later, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues reunites the band for a mockumentary filled with dry humor, celebrity cameos, and the same absurd ego-driven charm that made the original iconic.
