 If there's one thing we've learned over the years from Bill and Ted, Wayne and Garth, et al, it's that there's perpetual humor to be mined from the concept of grown men acting like teenage boys acting like rock stars. Tenacious D's Jack Black and Kyle Gass bring the time-tested premise into the reality-show era, more or less playing themselves, like a 21st century Spinal Tap that actually live their gimmick 24-7.
The film's opening sequence, featuring Meat Loaf as Black's dad and an astonishing kid named Troy Gentile as young J.B., is like the best Twisted Sister video never made; you've probably seen it online by now. The movie itself flags a little bit when the story switches from the origins of Tenacious D the band to a caper involving a guitar pick made from the tooth of Satan (Dave Grohl), but at the climax, you actually get to hear "The Greatest Song in the World," that the duo has previously claimed, in song, that they forgot.
Some of the jokes are apparently recycled from the D's HBO show, but if you're hard-core enough to notice, it shouldn't matter—even the greatest band in the world has to play the hits for the fans. |
