If you liked This Is Spinal Tap, then you will love this rockumentary focusing on a fake band reunion. Years when they had success it was shaken by a lighting bolt hitting their gig, and recently a member of the band disappearing, maybe dead. Basically one of the members of the band, Strange Fruit, has the idea, years later, to bring everyone back together for a reunion concert. The members include Tony Costello (The Crying Game's Stephen Rea, Hughie (Billy Connolly), Les Wickes (Jimmy Nail), David 'Beano' Baggot (Timothy Spall), Ray Simms (Bill Nighy) and Brian Lovell (Bruce Robinson), by the way, one of them is the one they suspected was dead. Personally, I preferred this to This Is Spinal Tap, and not just because of an all-star cast, but there was more laughs and more unique moments. Also starring Juliet Aubrey as Karen Knowles, Helena Bergström as Astrid Simms, Hans Matheson as Luke Shand, Rachael Stirling as Clare Knowles, Phil Daniels as Neil Gaydon, Zoë Ball and Corrie's Tricky Dicky Brian Capron as Senior Executive. It was nominated the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical and Best Song for "The Flame Still Burns". Good!
