The Spinal Tap stars are followed by documentary filmmaker Martin Di Bergi while they gear up for a one-off reunion concert.

It’s been 41 years since the release of the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap, and now we’re reuniting with the fictional heavy metal rockers for another mockumentary.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, once again directed by Rob Reiner, who also plays documentarian Martin Di Bergi, follows three members of the band as they reunite after 15 years.

Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) is living in Berwick-upon-Tweed, selling cheese and guitars (in the same shop), David St Hubbins (Michael McKean) performs in a mariachi band in California, and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) runs a glue museum in London.

When their song Big Bottom experiences a resurgence on social media, the trio get back together for one more concert due to a contractual obligation rather than a true desire.

This sequel is made by the same team as the first, so it’s no surprise that it has the same tone, filmmaking style and sense of humour, with the actors improvising...
