cmsHello Cleveland! #dobly
Well if you love Spın̈al Tap as much as I do, which is a high bar, they didn't disgrace themselves with part ii, I was happy with it. #dobly
Robee? Na! 🌈@cms That’s good to hear, the reviews I’ve seen haven’t been great
@RobeeShepherd I think it really depends on expectations and how you sit with the original.
If you want to see a pure thing made with love by wonderful people full of poignancy and silly jokes and great music, there you are. It's slight, and gentle, and warm and funny.
If you want a deliriously non-stop genre busting comedy with an insane gag ratio to match the original, absolutely not, this is some old guys doing a victory lap.
Although I liked that the "plot" is basically "old guys get the band back together for one last cash grab" and that is also the meta text.

@cms I’m ok with that!
@RobeeShepherd yeah, I definitely recognise the movie in the bad reviews but I think they are watching it with a colder heart.
@cms Yes maybe! I’m not sure even I knew how much I enjoyed the original first time around. It took a few goes over the years to truly appreciate its genius.
@RobeeShepherd there is so much heart in it, I think.
BUT I'm an aging failed rock musician, I am very close to the material.
It's my favourite movie of all time. It's because of me that the IMDb vote for it goes to 11.
