Editorial Review: Product Description: 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.Running Time: 93 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 794043106989 Manufacturer No: N10698 Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tenaciously D issapointedThis was not worth the money at all. I love rock-n-roll parady like SPINAL TAP, THE SCHOOL OF ROCK and really thought that this would be good and funny, boy was I wrong. It really sucked, way too stupid and way too immature, even for me a 46 yr old teenager. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Jack needs to go back to the drawingboard before attempting another one of these. Rating: - hilarious.wish there was a little more music in it but they did a great job. strawberry river = LOL. Rating: - Enjoyable even if you aren't into rockI'm 71 and don't know much about rock in general, and even less about heavy metal. Yet I found this small film to be a lot of fun. Unlike a metal rock concert, I could actually hear and understand the lyrics (maybe it helped that I watched it on TV with closed captions.) The story is about a kid (played by Jack Black) who leaves his rigid religious parent's home after a rock poster comes to life (or he imagines it; either interpretation fits) and predicts his future success. He meets ... Read More Rating:  - good movie for a rock fanGood movie lame sometimes but a good movie and the final battle is a master piece. Rating:  - It was ok.The cameos from DIO, Meat Loaf, and the story of the pick kept my interest for a little while...but movie got lame after that. Funny to Dave Grohl from Nirvana playing metal.....but not that funny. Browse for similar items by category:
