lack of talent for all to see

Rating: 2/10 (26 November 2006)

Jack Black is not funny. All he seems able to do is shout a lot and throw in the occasional profanity, sometimes for variety doing it with a contrived, "Deliverance" type drone in his voice.
Tenacious D, or Tedious D, has to be one of the most insipid, uninspired and uncreative concepts of all time. Music parodies have been done before and have managed to be both musically sound and entertaining comedies - refer to the Bad News films from the UK, or, even better, the numerous efforts of Christopher Guest and his many friends.
If you are somehow entertained by Jack Black's overweight and out of date concepts of what is funny, knock yourself out. But remember this - ever dollar spent on a Jack Black film is a dollar not spent on an actor or film which has talent.
