Based on a metacritic.com score of 55 and a lighthearted innocent written summary of the story, I thought I would give this movie a chance, then a second chance, a then third chance, ...

I almost puked my popcorn and feel violated for the thoughts and images left in my mind.

I'm no expert, fer sure, but I don't know what to think of Jack Black. I've only seen "School of Rock" in which he effectively plays his character's surprise humanness.

He's also great in this video: Tacky -- anyone who hangs with Weird Al can't be all bad.

But he seems a little too flirty with the edge for me.

I wonder if Vince of Sham-Wow fame will go to his reunion.

“...the high school reunion committee, which consists of about a half-dozen other wallflowers heavy on the nerd factor. They were all pretty much invisible in high school, which makes you wonder why they’d spend so much time planning their 20th reunion...”

I’m VERY impressed by the reviewer’s abysmal ignorance of the human condition.

JB has some talents but shouold stay with voice-over work. “school of Rock” was an aberration.

He always seems to mug and wink at the camera and have a smug “ain’t I something?” Shatner attitude.

He is so 2000.

Jack Black in a Kevin Smith movie = The Perfect Storm of Cinematic Suck.

At least the plot doesn’t sound boring?

I’ll check it out on Netflix when it comes around, if it really sucks then it’s easy to move on.
