Jack Black at his best

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2018)

This movie is one of my all-time favorites and let me just say that it is SEVERELY underrated.
It may not be anything too special, but this movie is incredibly fun to watch. It's funny, it's quotable, and to some it may even be inspiring.
This movie would not be what it is if anyone played the lead other than Jack Black. He's one of my favorite comedians, and he's no worse in this movie than he was in School of Rock or Jumanji. Yes, he has a cheesy accent, and maybe the whole movie has a cheesy tone to it, but it's important to realize that this is a comedy movie. And from the standpoint of "I just want to watch a funny movie that's enjoyable and will make me laugh," it accomplishes this very well.
That's not to say this movie doesn't have flaws, but that's not why I'm typing this. It's a fantastic movie with a great ending, and despite what that 5/10 average score says, I love this picture to death.
Watch the movie yourself. It's freaking amazing.
