I feel like he's funny in everything he's in
School of Rock is way up on my list of favorite family friendly comedies, Shallow Hal is a great movie, and Kung Fu Panda is awesome.
Also, his character in Orange County was hilarious, the fire scene and his convo with the cop is one of my favorite all time comedy scenes.
And The Brink has been great so far

Really, I'm having a hard time thinking of a movie I didn't like Jack Black in

Envy

that movie was very disappointing.

also his version of Gulliver's Travels sucked the big one.

(Jack Black fan BTW)

He's a less talented Bobby Moynihan

Not sure if serious
But Jack Black is much funnier (and more successful) than Moynihan

I've always liked Jack Black and thought he was funny, and I feel like he does serious roles well too.

Envy was disappointing, and his acting in King Kong was pretty hilarious, but so was everyone else's (and that was kinda intentional IMO...the whole movie had sort of a 50s cartoony vibe).

I haven't seen Bernie, but I've heard he's great in it.

People talk about actors that are the same character in every movie they are in and Jack Black is the very definition of that.

I think he's funny so I am not knocking him, but I guess that's just because I don't expect too much out of him much like I do Will Ferrell. Just have to take both for who they are and enjoy.

I have never really been a fan of Jack Black and I find him very annoying. I did love Saving Silverman, though.

They are nothing alike. I'm a fan of both.

Bernie is fricking great. It's possible that I may be biased since I'm from East Texas but holy shite that movie had me grinning.

Bobby Moynihan has been my favorite cast member on SNL for several years. Guy would kill it with better writers. I still laugh at everything he does, but I think he's brilliant. Drunk Uncle, which he wrote, is hilarious. So is his janitor role in the spoof audition of 12 Years a Slave.

Bernie is a gem of a movie, Black is great in it.

School of Rock is about the only Jack Black movie I like. Though I've heard good things about Brink so I might give that a shot

I love jack black. He's the only part of anchorman I found funny. I just watched the first two episodes of the brink on demand and it's great so far.
