re: Jack Black plans to retire from movies soon

Guy is a gimmick actor, the offers will never dry up. And with the offers comes his previous name cache so roles he gets offered will command a big price
That being said, I believe if he wants to retire he will because he knows all of the above
So why not take a break? Spend some family time, then come back when you’re ready

Damn , one of the best comic actors

I havent seen any of his recent movies, but, Nacho Libre is a stupid comedy masterpiece and extremely quotable. Most people on here seem to hate it, but I love it. For that movie alone, I will always like him.

I must have been in a hole. I did not know of this movie. I stand corrected and am indeed ignorant.

Wishing Jack Black the best. Currently really enjoying his Youtube content and look forward to the new Jumanji film.

Calling what Jack Black does acting is like calling A Christmas Story a Christmas movie.
This comment makes little sense but on the subject, Jack Black is a great actor

It is easy to say this when the jobs start drying up.

Not sure why people hate on Jack Black. He's had an iconic performance in School of Rock, had decent leads in kids movies and a Farrelly brothers film, anchored a highly succesful animated franchise, and is a part of one of the best ensemble casts ever (Tropic Thunder).
I can't think of a film of his I didn't enjoy at least on some level.
The Big Year for instance is an under the radar gem.

He needs to focus on his health. That pot belly is a heart attack waiting to happen

I'd just like this opportunity to let everyone know someone put the music to the Legend of the Rent song from School of Rock.

LoL job offers are not drying up for Jack Black
uh, starring vehicles certainly have. Other than super surprise hit Jumanji, Black has:
5 underwhelming movie roles
1 extra
4 uncredited
4 voice roles
14 shorts
9 TV series of 1 ep
1 TV movie
since Bernie in 2011. That's quite a 9 year dry spell. And at 50, his reach is now very limited.

I thought he had already retired

I've enjoyed most of his netflix movies to be honest.

This is some real twisting of reality my dude.
3 of the live action movies he did were financially successful kids flicks with Goosebumps 1/2 and The House With A Clock In It's Walls. The other two were low budget indie flicks he wanted to be part of that went to Sundance. The TV movie was produced by Amazon and also went to Sundance. The voice work is mostly for a the successful Kung Fu Panda franchise, he did a cartoon Tenacious D series that is fan service for people who love the band, he had an excellent TV series on HBO w/The Brink, and he pops into stuff like Drunk History b/c it's a fun and easy gig.
All I see is a guy who is taking roles in movies/tv he either is interested in or movies/tv his kids can see. He isn't hurting for work at all.
