Woody Allen's Zelig (1983) perfected the fake documentary a year before This Is Spinal Tap. Allen plays
Leonard Zelig, the changing man: a man so insecure with his own persona
that he physically morphs to match whomever he's with. I loved this
movie the first time I saw it, but it's a one-joke idea stretched to 79
minutes, and it doesn't hold up more than once.
