Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny Trailers

In Venice Beach, naive Midwesterner JB bonds with local slacker KG and they form the rock band Tenacious D. Setting out to become the world's greatest band is no easy feat, so they set out to steal what could be the answer to their prayers... a magical guitar pick housed in a rock-and-roll museum some 300 miles away.

This Film Helped Change My Life and Inspire My Love Of Rock Music. This Film Should Be The Beginning Of A Genre Of Amazing "Rock Musical" Films, But Because People Are To Picky And Uppity To Look Past The Stoner Comedy Of This Film. They Fail To See The Actually Skill Of Both The Musical and Cinematic Directors Of This Film. I Get Why Some Might Call It Stupid, But You Don't Need To Be High To Watch This. Because The Story Told In It Is Solid From Beginning To End. The Way Kyle and Jack Get Stoked On Rock Is The Same Way I'm Stoked On This Film, and The Music Behind It.

Back in 2013, I jokingly created an IMDb list called 'Non-irritating performances by Jack Black' which consisted of zero titles. Over the years, I have wondered if I might have been a little unfair (he was just about bearable in Tropic Thunder, I suppose), but I feel vindicated after watching Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, which sees Black putting in a grating, boorish, self indulgent, and seriously unfunny performance to beat all others.The film stars Black as JB, a wannabe rock star who teams up with guitarist KG (Kyle Gass) to form the group Tenacious D; together, they plan to take the music world by storm by laying their hands on the Pick of Destiny, a legendary guitar pick made from Satan's tooth that endows the holder with incredible musical skills. All of this nonsense definitely has the potential to be funny, but Black's egocentric performance, Liam Lynch's uninspired direction, a lack of decent material that relies too heavily on vulgarity, 'stoner' gags, and pointless cameos, and surprisingly cheap production values makes for a really painful experience.1/10. Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl puts in the best performance as Satan, but it's nothing we haven't already seen in Tenacious D's much played music video for 'Tribute' (which I actually like, along with the rest of their debut album — go figure!).

I grew up during the time of devil metal and I have to say seeing Meatloaf, Dio and Dave Groel as the devil is just fun and I love the forced humor and ridiculous nonsense. Keep on rocking. This is not a movie for people who don't understand about that era but if you do Im sure you will enjoy the ridiculousness. I cant stand the fact that I cant leave a five line review Its crazy why would someone need to write that much about a movie to leave a review. I will eventually reach ten lines. I think I need one more sentence BOOM.ONE MORE SENTENCE TO LEAVE A REVIEW ABOUT A MOVIE I LIKE CRAZY.sorry needed ten lines not much of a blabber

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.
