Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Elite CAT I love Tenacious D. Their off-the-wall antics and fantastically hilarious lyrics will have you singing like you were still on Jesus Ranch with Sassafrasquach, Spiderman, and David Dark. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you have got to see the show.

jackrabbitslims-1 If you were wondering, Tenacious D is the name of the show of the greatest band in the world of the same name. It consists of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Add a camera and if you air their crazy adventures on HBO then you have yourself one of the funniest half hours since neanderthals tried to create fire. Although it only ran for 3 episodes, I hope this goes the way of the short-lived Clerks animated series and is updated to DVD with more episodes.

orionak Absolutely wonderful. The comedy is hilarious, the jokes are sharp-witted, the lyrics are genius, the music is magical. These two guys work together so well an they're jokes are the kinds you would share among close friends making you feel like part of the band. It's a spoof on life that gave us a great band. It's definetly worth checking out, but don't bother with the official website, it's seriously lacking. An album is coming out in September of 2001 and keep your eyes open for rare late-night showings of the show ("Tenacious D" or "Tenacious D: The Greatest Band in the World")

prohibited-name-1287 Yet another gem in the HBO crown, the Tenacious D series on HBO is worth a look. It is an outstanding comedy series about a struggling band whose sole purpose is perform at an open mike night at a local bar. There are 3 episodes, each consisting of two 10-15 minute segments. They perform their own songs and the stories in each segment are in fact written around the songs.Thus, Tenacious D is a real band and in this case, the band came before the show. The D is Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Both are worth their musical weight in gold: Jack has a voice with the depth of Eddie Vedder and the range of Roy Orbison; Kyle is a world-class guitarist and his vocals are well timed and solid. The way they mix such excellent talent into the tubby frame of a satin-worshipping hard-rock band that plays for an irreverent open mike audience, shows well thought out and entertaining absurdity. Their music sounds like Simon and Garfunkel, while their verse is silly and riddled with overt sexual over-tones and embellished with a rock-scat style that's butter to the ears. There are also numerous intentional contradictions in the stories and subtleties within the acting all throughout the show that make each piece fun to watch again and again. They are the right mix of talent and ridiculousness and it works very well.The D's resume is looking better all the time, as they have opened for names like Beck and Tool, and have made several TV appearances including SNL, Conan O'Brien, and Comedy Central. They have a CD coming out summer '01.
