  • Fun family movie

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    This is a fun, family movie with no pretension to seriousness on any level. Its silly, pokes fun at itself and all the better for it. Jack Black is, well, Jack Black. It looked great fun to make and its great fun to watch for all the family.

    Jack Black as usual plays himself, but to his full potential as we have come to expect. Whilst not an epic movie, my children watched this 8 times before returning it. We also have borrowed a few lines as often happens when a film captures their attention like this one does, I can often be heard using one of Billy Connolly's lines to my advantage! I must say I chuckled throughout the film, even after several viewings.

  • Mildly amusing in places but pretty lame overall.

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By ZappaChap (3 reviews) from Telford , 09 Apr 2013
    This film has very little to recommend it. Jack Black's performance is a bit like a self-parody - lots of mugging and mildly diverting crudity. He plays the usual slacker who against the odds rises to a heroism of sorts. The humour lacks any kind of wit or subtlety. The plot is completely predictable. At times the sentimentality is so syrupy and saccharine, the movie should carry a health warning for diabetics.

  • Doesn't travel well

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    A very loose adaptation of the Swift novel, this updates the story and then like the lead character at one point urinates all over its key ingredients. This is all in service of making it a full-on Jack Black vehicle. If you love the actor's louche style, then you'll probably find this hilarious. For the rest of us, he grates enormously, smart-assing his way through most of the film. Quite what attracted the calibre of this supporting cast to this lame exercise is a mystery. Admittedly it does have moments of cleverness but they are generally not Black related.

    Better than forgetting Sarah Marshall, but only just. May be OK for kids, but don't go expecting Be Kind Rewind vintage Jack Black.
