A riot

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2006)

Im not Tenacious d's biggest fan, as i don't own any of their albums but i do think they are hilarious and this definitely comes across in this outstanding big screen effort which I saw at the weekend in an advanced screening. Packed with catchy tunes, punchy wit and some of the best visual gags (check out Tim Robbins scenes and the powerslide)i have seen in a while this is a must for any D or jack black fan.
The storyline is perhaps not to be taken seriously....at all maybe. The idea of the pick that makes rock and roll bands the greatest is certainly hilarious though. Jack Black and Kyle Glass are fantastic as are the deranged cameos from both fellow frat packer Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins. Both are incredibly funny and provide some great scene stealing moments. Liam Lynch directs with competence and manages to capture the life of the band as he has done in the music videos. The film is just bursting at the seams with laughs and had me laughing the whole way through.
I cannot recommend it enough, any person who is in to rock music in some extent should appreciate the rock and roll history museum and the film on the whole. Great, just great, and I feel privelaged to have seen this before it came out SCORE!
