Jack is Black and Back

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2008)

Jack oh how you rock. Let Jack of the leash and you do invariably get variations of a familiar character all of which I suspect are close to Mr. Black himself. So whilst this in my opinion is not a bad movie and does indeed have some very funny scenes. Liking this movie is I think going to depend if you like Jack himself. Yes it's crude and yes we have seen Jack do this many times before (this character is just a more adult version of his school of rock character). The premise of the movie is Jack and his co-star and fellow 'tenacious' member Kyle Glass go on a journey that is both physical and spiritual to reclaim the pick of destiny the movie is named after .What we get is basically a series of sketches that vary in degrees of humour. A few good cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins and an ending that one spots from pretty much from the beginning but it's enjoyable without being great. I may watch this again but would not seek it out.
