Review: 'Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny' A film about a band trying to become the best band ever and pay their rent by stealing a legendary guitar pick from a rock and roll museum couldn't have been done better to be honest. Starring Tenacious D', Jack Black and Kyle Gass, directed by Liam Lynch this film is about the music and the humour, the absurd plot is a testament to that. This film serves as an extremely loose origin story, I can only imagine, to the formation of the band 'Tenacious D'. Released in 2006 this is a music-comedy, adventure. JB and KG are aspiring successful musicians. When they run out of money to pay for rent they decide to enter a competition where the best band wins, but before they play they learn of the 'pick of destiny', a legendary guitar pick which is supposedly one of the devils teeth. They decide to try to steal it from a museum. Firstly Jack Black and Kyle Gass' relationship on screen is partly why the film is so good. They are so natural together. One scene that sticks out to me is toward the start of the film is when KG meets JB. KG is a very arrogant street performer at this stage while JB is innocent and acts like an absolute fanboy. KG tries to keep up an act of disinterest while JB applauds his performance. Towards the end of the scene KG flicks his pick at JB like he's god's gift to the earth. I thought this was hilarious as KG is as much of a loser as JB is at this point in the film. The music is also good being one of the main reasons to see the film. It is for the most part performed by Tenacious D themselves as you would expect. What really makes this film standout to me is the dream sequences. Like in 'The Big Lebowski' they are visually stunning, unique scenes. Without giving too much away there is one scene with an actually decent song in it and in another there is a trippy bit of Bigfoot. One thing I didn't like about this film is that halfway through it sort of has a cliché friends falling out moment which is reconciled quickly. I understand that it was to add a bit of drama but if they did it in a more creative, original way I would have appreciated it. If you do decide to see this film or if you have seen it and plan to re watch it I would recommend to look out for the cameos from Ben Stiller, Amy Poehler, Dave Grohl, Meatloaf and many more. The opening of this film is probably the strongest part of the film JBs origin is too funny to miss, if you don't plan on seeing this film at least watch the opening. In conclusion the soundtrack is great, the relationship between Jack Black and Kyle Gass on screen cements the whole film together and the dream sequences are pretty cool. All in all I give it a 7/10 and would recommend it. Keep an eye out for those cameos.

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a fun movie, even not being so funny, the movie will give some laughs, and of course a lot of fun, I liked the chemistry of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, both are excellent, the cast is very competent, especially Tim Hobbins this very well, the opening scene is funny, and the final scene is quite bizarre, the makeup is good, the film has strange moments, the soundtrack is the strong point of the film, the script is problematic, some dialogues are very weak, not to mention having jokes sheepishly, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny is recommended, especially those who like Rock, the film is fun and guarantee a few laughs. Note 6.8

When I heard of a Tenacios D movie coming out, I was excited as hell. But as I finally watched it, my excitement began to sink. The movie has some good jokes or just funny parts (some of them can be read in the quotes section), but I can not tell you if you are going to like them because they have a very special humor. And the story is quite nice too, except for the middle of the movie. This was the part that disappointed me. Because it really seemed like they were stretching the movie there. And that just bored me extremely.Now should you watch this movie? If you like a)Tenacious D b)Tenacious D like Humor or c)rock music definitely yes. Even if you don't like the humor or the story or whatever, the music is really great (and I am saying that, as somebody who usually just listens to Thrash Metal). If nothing of that fits you, I would still recommend giving it a try, but only if you like self-irony, otherwise go and watch something else.

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a great movie with a really fun storyline and great performances from both Jack Black and Kyle Gass.This movie was a box office bomb when it came out,and I don't see why,I thought this movie was very enjoyable,it was really funny and had unbelievably good music numbers,and I thought Tenacious D would have a big enough fan base for this movie to make some decent money.I'm not a fan of the band,and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it unless I was,but I really did,and I also learned that Jack Black is actually a fantastic singer,and the rock off scene with David Grohl as Satan is something I will never forget.Fans of the band will definitely enjoy this movie and fans of Jack Black comedies will also.Two men interested in becoming rock stars head off on a quest to find a guitar pick that is actually Satin's tooth in order to become big.
