In this case, he doesnt have the material, but, since he co wrote the movie with Gass and Lynch, its kinda his fault he doesnt have the material.

I enjoyed it, though as a casual fan who also dug the Tenacious D album and DVD, I dont know how itll play for newcomers.

While fans of Black and Gass will be thrilled by their music and antics, you can walk in knowing nothing about the band and still be entertained.

There isnt enough plot to fill out the films 90 minute running time, but there are rude laughs ... and inspired bits tucked in amid the padding.

Its a one joke movie sort of how Tenacious D is a one joke band but its a joke that can be pretty funny sometimes.

Essentially everyone (Black and Gass included) feel like theyre in a comedy sketch thats been extended with songs and gags.

Its a fun ride in the puerile style of Kevin Smith, but for non fans of Black or the D, this will grate like a tone deaf musician.

The first ten minutes are brilliant and then, for the most part, the fun (and music) screech to a halt.
