Movie Reviews of Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
Movie Review: Nonstop Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY is the lamest movie I've ever seen. It's silly, nonsensical, perverse, disjointed, and features two rolly polly stars (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) who would look more at ease receiving wedgies in the locker room than being phenom rock stars. Black is over the top and Gass looks like a brigadier general at Nerd Central; the subtle sensual repartee between the two is really, really gross. But you know what? I love this movie, as I do all things irreverent that never, ever, take themselves seriously.
In their quest to become a rock 'n roll legend, JB (Black) and KG (Gass) must obtain the Pick of Destiny (one of Lucifer's long lost tooths); their journey is augmented by drugs and crime and foolish banter and interesting characters (including Meat Loaf and Ben Stiller) and lots and lots of music. And these guys can strum and Black has some serious vocal range; their musical numbers are a combination of kick arse acoustics and outrageous slapstick that had me grinning from ear lobe to ear lobe. Nothing in Tenacious D's repertoire is sacred or respected; everything is out in the open to be made fun of, especially Black and Gass in fantastic self-deprecation. TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY is dumber than a sack of rocks. . .and I enjoyed every tongue-in-cheek second of it. Rock on!

Summary of Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
Actors/musicians Jack Black and Kyle Gass bring their infamous rock duo Tenacious D to the big screen! The hilarious story of how "The D" became the self-proclaimed greatest band on earth, Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny follows the pair's plan to steal a supernatural guitar pick on display in a rock-and-roll museum in order to create a masterpiece song that will cement their place in music history.You don't have to be a munchie-loving stoner or an aspiring rock god to enjoy Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, but it helps. A dozen years after they introduced their mock-rock power duo on the Los Angeles club scene, Jack Black and Kyle Gass finally got the movie showcase (a partial spinoff from the D's short-lived HBO series) their fans had been waiting for, and it's a rockin' romp with plenty of crude laughs that will hit home for anyone who's ever played air guitar to Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell." It's a Beavis and Butt-head-like origin story, recalling the legend (ahem) of how JB (Black) and KG (Gass) met, bonded over bong-hits and rock-operatic guitar licks, then set out (on a tip from a crazed guitar-store clerk played by Ben Stiller) to find the mythic pick of destiny, used by all guitar gods and said to be fashioned from the tooth of Satan. Their quest includes a variety of well-cast cameos (including Tim Robbins, Meat Loaf, and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl as Satan himself), and there's plenty of flatulence, drug humor, at least one hilarious fantasy sequence, and outrageous sight gags too numerous to mention. Suffice it to say, it's about 90 minutes of lowbrow indulgence, and some of the jokes fall flat, but if you're a headbanger at heart, you'll know what Tenacious D is riffing on, and the sweet licks (also available on the soundtrack CD) will sound that much sweeter. If you're not ready to RAWK, this potential cult favorite may not be for you... but give it try anyway. It may not be better than Citizen Kane, but if you're properly stoked, it comes close to rock & roll heaven. --Jeff Shannon
