The Boys are back for one last performance: briefly; this filmmaker Martin "Marty" Di Bergi [partly Writer/Director: Rob Reiner:] he is back with Spin̈al Tap after 15 years [in this movie's timeline: but in ours it has been roughly 41 years.] They even have a new drummer; after asking Chad Smith [Red Hot Chili Peppers] and Lars Ulrich [Metallica] in fact they suggested one another, but sadly they declined, but step forward Didi Crockett [Valerie Franco:] she is delighted to join the band, but she is fully aware of this history with this band and its drummers.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 83 minutes film is good; the outlay is roughly start at the end of them go back to the beginning with this countdown of days to this concert: as you can imagine as this film is 83 minutes long, it doesn't have time to mess around.

Character developments, comedy and art; the character developments are very interesting for an example Nigel Tufnel [Christopher Guest:] he was/is one of the lead guitarists/vocalist of Spin̈al Tap: but nowadays he is a owner of a cheese and guitars shop with his girlfriend:  Moira [Nina Conti:] she is the understanding and supportive partner: where in this shop you could trade in your guitar for its weight in cheese: highly imaginative and creative design on this guitar having this secret department and for another, comedy and artistic vision: we do have Stonehenge back with us as well, where yes Spin̈al Tap do perform this song track with a very special guest.

Character developments, performances and art; the newcomers and returning cast members; be it character developments or performances slot in and gel fluently as everyone returning or/and new; knew what this sequel had to be and got on with it; with sport on chemistry and camaraderie and yes everyone can still sing and perform as Spin̈al Tap; with or without special appearances or very special guest.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; it is still lots of fun, even though it has the same mark as its predecessor, I would say the original is the stronger of the two instalments. What I am about to say next is not in any way shape or form a criticism of this film. But as of this content from a budget of well under $23 million it has made just $3 million at the box office, which is just wrong. But then again it dawned on me: as I have already referenced it has been over four decades since the original and times have very much changed, meaning comedy styles/outlays change, so what may seem subtle, elegant and consequently highly comical to someone like myself as of this content being first created I am in my early 40's and seen many different styles/outlays of comedy be it obviously in films and etc including live, but broadly speaking I have learnt/observed that the modern generations, the modern comedy films usually have to be of the outlay of feeding their audience, so other relates to this film the younger generations may just see it as these old guys being three stages of dimwits which I get, but there is so much more here than just that. I mean based off this financial indication I am now slightly concerned about Spaceballs 2: yes I clearly understand that they are very different genres and so on and so forth, but the sentiment is the same from the perspective of it has been many years since Spaceballs 1987 so this sequel could fall into the same predicament, hopefully not actually I am sure of it, but this could've been a potential warning though nonetheless and finally there is a long sequence of events when the ending credits start rolling.
