Worst comedy film I've ever seen....

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2008)

I went to see this film as I noticed it had Jack Black in it, and I thought he was so funny in things like Empire Records, and School of Rock, (and also in Tenacious D - some of his music vids are superb like Tribute). But then I go and see this and I am seriously let down. I expected Jack Black to be totally off his head proper rock-n-roll style, going in attacking the enemy in a proper rock-n-roll style like he did in School of Rock, but for most of the film Jack is pretending to be a stoned out actor, that can't concentrate on anything but drugs for more than five seconds. There was one or two funny bits in the film, like the Panda scene, the bat scene and the bit where Jack is going cold turkey and is tied to the tree, but the rest of the film was the most boring load of rubbish I've ever seen. All the actors were supposed to be actors from rubbish movies, making a rubbish movie that turns out really good, but this film just makes really good actors look really rubbish. Possibly the worst scene in the whole film was the Forrest Gump bit where they make fun of Forrest Gump, I think that could have been so much funnier if Jack Black had been doing that and it had been about someone who was ADHD, 'cos then Jack Black could really have gone off on one in his usual hypo style. I also found that Forrest Gump section very insulting towards people with disabilities, I have Asperger's and ADHD and found it really poorly done, without any consideration for people watching the film who have learning disabilities.
After seeing this film it certainly has put me off going to see any of Jack Blacks other films.
