Leave your brain behind and just enjoy it

I hadn't expected much from this film. Although I'd enjoyed Tenacious D's first CD, it was clearly Tribute that stood out, and I just couldn't figure out how they'd manage to pad this out into a full movie.
It's really more of a musical, rather than a film featuring some of their music, and in this respect works really well - with the characters rockin' out at various stages throughout the film, and all those little strange tracks you may have heard on the CD's suddenly work perfectly in the movie.
A stand-out moment for me is the actor playing the young Jack Black who had captured the nuances and character of grown up Jack perfectly.
It's an amazingly daft movie, but that's kind of the point. It's silly, but ultimately a lot of fun, so you just need to kick-back, relax and enjoy the ride.
