Jack Black is so damn talented (i.e. funny ala Belushi).

I'm glad to see him finally getting the broad attention he deserves.

Jack Black is hilarious!  I haven't seen this one yet, but I will.  So far my favorite of his is High Fidelity.  He was also great in Saving Silverman, although I didn't care much for the movie.

He really is.  As a big Tenacious D fan I might have to see this one.  I suspect it will be somewhat formulaic and silly as those kind of comedies go, but I think Black will be able to carry the film regardless of the script.

I did end up finally catching it last Thursday.

I wasn't really looking forward to it. I just caught it because it was free, and people kept telling me I should see it.

As I'm not terribly familiar with the music in the movie, nor do I have any real interest in the music in the movie, most of that didn't do anything for me.

But I do enjoy Jack Black.

And between him & the kids, it was worth watching. I didn't think it was "great" (maybe I woulda if the music did anything for me). But it was a little bit of fun anyways.

I say that if you actually want to see it, go for it. You'll probably enjoy it. I only felt it to be ok as I had no real desire to watch it based on previews.

I just saw it.  Absolutely great feel-good movie!  :rock: It could have easily been condescending, very cliche or cutesy, but it was neither.  Sure, it was formulaic to a point, but it was executed so well it didn't matter.  To me it seemed completely genuine.  Jack Black is the real deal, there's not much "acting" going on for his character! :)
