SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Iollann Mckeon 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.

SlyGuy21 I'll be the first person to say that this movie's not for everyone. Some may find it one of the stupidest movies ever made, but there's just something about how stupid it is that makes me laugh. I think it's that Jack and Kyle are just best friends having fun and playing music. And since I'm a fan of comedy bands like Tenacious D and Ninja Sex Party, it makes sense that this movie would be dumb. It's an easy watch, there's plenty of funny references and lots of epic rock. I'm not a big fan of Jack Black as an actor, but he is on top of his comedy game in this. Kyle's also got some shining moments, and they both have great chemistry because they've been friends for so long. The songs in this are so iconic to me, that I still remember them years after not seeing the movie. If you're looking for a dumb, but still charming and funny road movie, you could do a lot worse than this.Rock In Peace Ronnie James Dio

FilmBuff1994 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.

Ross Heighway Tenacious D are a good band, and there quite funny in that band.But in this film they are NOT funny.I didn't laugh once in this whole movie & it was just basically a huge let-down.Because i thought it would be a decent comedy because it was a film about Tenacious D and it obviously had them two in it.However...This film was poorly written, had scenes in it that didn't add any humour in to it just basically took up some time in the movie and made it even more of a waste of time.As well as this Tenacious D are great song writers however some of the "songs" in this were poor, an awful soundtrack for an awful film.Even if you like Tenacious D, save your time, do not watch this movie!
