I listen to these guys for what they're about JOKES! The movie is getting panned and I found it to be more entertaining than I expected. I mean what should you expect from them. I went expecting some crude humor intermixed with a little music. Thinking it would be your average B-movie but what I got was a lot more of the things I expected and found the whole experience great.

Anyone else or is everyone here to serious about life?

    I went in expecting a 100 minute version of the HBO shorts, and that's what I got. I liked it a good bit. Funny thing happened at the part where Kage goes off with the sorority girls. The film got caught in the projector and melted. For about a minute, I thought it might be part of the film.

    It really should've been funnier imo. It was OK.

    Funniest part was the first acoustic song Black and Gass play together on Venice Beach.

    'I really think it's time to fucking rock' LOL

    I got bored about halfway through. The joke is fine, but it IS only one joke. This wasn't a shade on the Wayne's World movies.

    I feel the same. I enjoyed the movie, didn't require any mental capacity to enjoy so it was fun in that sense. I was exhausted from an afternoon of paintball so it was a good relaxing time.

    Now, I'm not a pot smoker at all, but I seem to like movies like this and Harold & Kumar. Not for the drug use, but the crazy little adventures they get into.
    Maybe its because my high school friends were all tokers.

    Great band..

    i've heard good and bad things about the movie but I expect it to be worth the cost of a ticket.

    thanks for the heads up about SNL, i had no idea :)
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    I liked the movie. Sometimes I enjoy shutting my brain off and laughing like a moron.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    I thought the movie was hilarious, and no I wasn't high. I went with my son and his two friends. We laughed through out the entire movie.

    My absolute favorite part is when Dave Grohl played the devil. He is the sexiest devil I've seen on film. Even though he had all that makeup on and those fluffy goat pants. The whole rocking out on the drums and guitar was pure sexy just like he is in real life.

    A must see! True Jack Black form through and through. If you like his since of humor, you'll love this movie.

    Is it me, or did anyone else here a few riffs from School of Rock?

    that movie was awesome, the best part was when jack blacks character was tripping on sshrooms and it showed him going down a lake in his dream and in real life he is in the ocean

    i know some stuff may be controversial -

    but is this a movie for young kids ? :confused:
    The problem is alot ofkids saw and loved The School Of Rock " but obviously the content in this movie may be a little more mature...


    thanks !

    I just saw it last night... Have to admit, I was disappointed. Someone else here said that they're trying too hard. I agree-- don't know what it was, but there were just so many parts of the movie where they were trying to be funny, but it just really wasn't. I'm a pretty big fan of the D, I LOVE their first cd, so I got a great deal of the jokes. Was there too much plot, and not enough goofin off? I don't know, but it just didn't tickle me the way I wanted it to.

    Anyway, hope their show at the GARDEN to night is better, cause I'm goin!

    Did you end up going? I did! It was fuckin awesome! Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, I was glad I saw it first-- made a lot of the jokes at the concert a lot funnier. I was pretty drunk too, but still, a really great show with or without booze.
