A Disappointing Tenacious D...

Rating: 3/10 (9 November 2006)

I saw the film two days ago at an advanced screening on my campus, and was extremely disappointed. Although I must confess I am only a casual Tenacious D fan (I find some of their songs and skits to be pretty funny), this film wasn't nearly as irreverent as the show. In my opinion, I found it to be detrimental, as the jokes seemed cliché and recycled. The cameo appearances, especially that of Tim Robbins, were the bright points of the film. As for the reception of the audience, lets just say that they tried to give us tickets to the red carpet world premiere of the film and most people turned them down.
Everyone's been asking about the rating, and I must say that the film seemed like a rather weak "R," due pretty much only to language and drug use.
