Hilarious

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2006)

I was on the fence going in to see this. I was a big fan of the HBO shows and the songs from that, but didn't so much like much of the material (the album and TV appearances) that came after that. Perhaps my expectations were low going into this -- perhaps I doubted whether or not I was still even a Tenacious D fan. But this movie was hilarious, I don't even know why. I often found myself laughing uncontrollably, scene to scene, for most of the movie, and when the film ended, I truly wished that there was more material. To me, that's one mark of a good comedy, or a good film, period, for that matter -- if you feel like you could watch an extra hour of film and still be entertained. I'm already seeing some negative reviews, so I feel it my duty to report that I think this was definitely the funniest movie I've seen this year.
