I saw it when it originally aired as a special on NBC. It's a great parody, and extremely funny. I love the interviews with actual Rock Stars. Like Mick Jagger talking about a song written by the Rutles for the Rolling Stones. "They brought it back, and it was 'orrible. So we never bothered to record it."

No, you were not alone - I was there too. Wink

Thank you, I've been wanting to see this for a while. I didn't know they did it in a Spinal Tap manner. All of the parts with Idle as the documentarian were hilarious.

I own the Rutles album but I don't have any Beatles albums!

There's a new release of the Rutles CD just out. Very clever parodies of the Beatles' songs by Neil Innes.

The Ruttles are good, George Harrison was "in" on the joke and even made a cameo appearance in the film.
What?
