Movie Review: The guys from Spinal Tap are back together, but is the reunion worth it?

“Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” hits theaters Friday, but it doesn't go to 11. The sequel to the iconic 1984 rock mockumentary struggles to capture the original's charm, says Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy. Despite star-studded cameos including a standout from Paul McCartney, the film leans too heavily on old jokes and themes of mortality. The plot revolves around the band's reunion for a final concert in New Orleans, driven by contract rather than passion. Kennedy writes the movies is “like watching a cover band playing the hits but then realizing it’s actually the original band onstage after all.”
