Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2006)

I am a fan of Tenacious D and I was hoping against hope that this would be the one movie that would show the true talent of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. I was wrong. I was hoping for a something of the old Tenacious D in this movie, but no, not even the talent of Ben Stiller or Tim Robbins carried any punch. You would think that if you had any friends in the movie industry they would suggest that they think this movie over before giving it the go ahead. When HBO had their half hour shows on, they were fresh, funny shows. I was sad when they were no longer on HBO. But I am sorry that I paid the money for this film, please wait until it comes on HBO. The opinion below is of my critic, my husband....
NOTE: (As the husband of the movie-goer who just wrote the above critique, I would like to say that I performed my spousal duties, AGAIN... and suffered through yet another MISERABLE, NO - TALENT performance by Jack Black. My sympathy goes out to all of you who have suffered a fate similar to mine, ie. watching Jack Black attempt to entertain the masses. Oh, what we will do for our loved ones. And yet, through all this I have found that we are the ones that, in fact, have the closest ties to Mr. Black, far closer than that of his forlorn fans, God bless them all. For it is us who must suffer the agony and shame of his performances. It is us who know the frustration and humiliation his friends and family must feel after yet another piece of garbage has been produced. All I can say is that Mr Black & Mr Gass are very fortunate that this country is so large. This ensures that no matter how terrible the drivel is that they produce, there are still enough fans to allow them to make a substantial living. In fact, I am hoping they make enough off of this flick to allow them to take a long, long break from film-making. So, Tenacious D, do something for your fans and their long suffering partners, go on hiatus, for a very, very long time. Thanks again for allowing me to finance your comfortable life style. I have never burned money before but I feel that if you decide to do this again, instead of going to see the film, I will just go out back and set fire to a $20.00 bill. I believe I will gain much more satisfaction from doing that than having to watch you again. I will also not have to feel as though I have ENABLED this duo again.)
