THIS IS SPINAL TAP
August 25, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Turn your TV dial to 11, and enjoy this 1984 mockumentary, which remains, almost 30 years later (!!!), astoundingly fresh and sassy. Rob Reiner directs, and also co-wrote the partly improvised screenplay, along with Spinal Tap band members Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean. Also, watch for the many familiar faces having fun here: not only Reiner and Fran Drescher, but Paul Shaffer, Patrick Macnee, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, Ed Begley Jr., and Fred Willard.
