Goofs:
Continuity: When JB and KG borrow the car from their friend, it clearly has stickers on it advertising the pizza business. During the car chase scene, the stickers are completely non-visible. (The reason there are no stickers visible in the car chase is because the shot of them falling off was cut. This can be seen in the deleted scenes on the DVD). more

I am a HUGE Tenacious D fan, and I think this is not the funniest movie in the world, but the most entertaining. It's not laugh-a-minute but that's not what the D intended it to be. I went into the movie seeing all the HBO shows, memorized both albums, and that made it even more enjoyable. Plenty of inside jokes from past Tenacious D albums, and HBO shows. Since I knew the new album already, I knew 40 minutes of the movie because it is a musical comedy. I would say it has the best first 5 minutes of any movie and the best last 5 minutes of any movie. Hands Down.
