If you thought bidding farewell to rock legends was exclusively for bands like Black Sabbath and The Who, think again! The most adored and ludicrous (yet entirely imaginary) rock and roll band, Spinal Tap, is making a heroic comeback on the big screen. The hilarious sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues arrives a good 41 years after the original mockumentary made us double over with laughter, and marked its place among cult classics.

The sequel centers around the shenanigans of let's-not-forget-they-are-fictional buddies, Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Derek Small (Harry Shearer), and bewildered documentary filmmaker Martin DiBergi (Rob Reiner). DiBergi finds himself once again documenting Spinal Tap's life; this time as they get back together for a reunion concert after a 15-year split.

Set to the same beat as the first movie, DiBergi checks in on the band members' present antics. Nigel can be found managing a cheese and guitar boutique in North England, David is now the Morro Bay living composer of eerie soundtracks for murder podcasts, and Derek is running a museum dedicated to adhesive products. Engaging with his exhibits can get rather sticky, though!

Undeterred by personal differences and sour memories, the trio gathers in New Orleans for their grand finale. The only hitch? Sourcing a drummer who won't expire early, a common fate for their former drummers. Post several futile auditions and rejections from renowned drummers, they finally strike gold with the sprightly Didi (Valerie Franco).

Adding to their not-so-harmonious symphony is the chic Simon (Chris Addison), their new PR guy. He might just casually suggest that the death of an artist would be a surefire sales booster. Rehearsal sessions for the show bring several notable visitors including Paul McCartney, whose input the band graciously brushes off, and an overly-fanatic Elton John. A profitable merch proposal of "Spinal Tap Water" also buzzes around.

Though the humor remains as sly and as deadpan as Spinal Tap's guitar notes, it elicits more of a delighting chuckle than a roaring laughter. Relying heavily on the love for the original, many old favorites make appearances, including Fran Drescher and Paul Schaffer. A heartwarming tribute is paid to the late Tony Hendra in the form of Kerry Godliman playing his on-screen daughter, Hope.

The reunion concert sequence is a crescendo for laughter, with the memorable Stonehenge act hitting a riotous note. It is performed disastrously well by Elton John on lead vocals. Ultimately, this encore performance from the gang from Spinal Tap is an amusingly offbeat, nostalgia-fueled joyride that you just can't help but giggle through.
