Pros and Cons...

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2006)

The main pro from this film is Jack Black. The cons are the film itself and everyone else in it. If he were not in it I probably would have given it a 5 or even a 4. But since he was able to get some true laughs out of me, I had to give in and give it a 6. He at least gives it a certain charm that without him it would totally be lacking. In fact, lets say this, everyone else in the cast, except his sidekick gets a 4, his sidekick gets a 5, Jack Black gets a 7, somehow freakishly pulling the movie up to a 6 for me. Tomorrow I may be thinking 5, but luckily for the movie, I'm voting today. Furthermore, it was actually Jack's singing that brought up the score for me, being a Tenacious D fan, I just can't help myself. I especially enjoyed the song during the credits at the end that pretty much everyone else missed because they couldn't wait to get out of the theatre when it was over; my husband and son (along with his girlfriend) included. I sat and soaked it all in; my own little personal private moment of pleasure. What were the creaters of Napoleon Dynamite thinking?????? THAT film was incredible! I guess everyone has to have a miss from time to time. I look forward to their next film, where I'm sure they will have learned from their mistakes.
