Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original 1984 film was so convincing that many viewers didn't realize it was fiction—Ozzy Osbourne reportedly thought it was a real documentary about a real band.
This marks the first scripted narrative sequel Reiner has directed in nearly 30 years, returning to the mockumentary format that essentially invented the modern comedy fake-doc style.
