Jack Black rules the screen in this classic comedy. If you like J.B., you will have no problem spending $10 to see this movie. Had me laughing more than any comedy I've seen this year. Must see, don't miss this one.... Full review

I went the the preview in Sacramento and let me tell you...it was out of this world. Nobody walked out of the theatre but from the first minute of the film you're assaulted with non-stop foul language. I don't mind it... Full review

There are also some great cameos in Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny . Ben Stiller as the clerk in the guitar store, once again, proves he is damned near a comic genius. ... Full Review

But perhaps that is precisely what makes The Pick of Destiny the perfect movie for this time of year: it has no competition. Eventually, the two team up in order to win a talent contest and avoid getting evicted, and in their quest to write the greatest song ever made, they discover that all of those great rock bands had one thing in common: a mythical guitar pick that brings greatness to those who possess it. ...

Only Tenacious fans could love 'Destiny' That's essentially what "Pick of Destiny" is -- a comedy sketch, painfully prolonged. It's a mostly weird and empty part for Robbins, though he does provide one of the movie's few good laughs toward the end. ... Full Review

Id heard the entire soundtrack beforehand and saw a few performances on late late night shows, and the songs seemed (for lack of a better word) incomplete. As a band, as actors, and as entertainers, Tenacious D is pure fun, assuming you dont have a soft ear for repeated foul language or cringe too much deciding what gargling mayonnaise is a reference to. ...

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny begins promisingly, with a prologue introducing 10-year-old Lil' JB (Troy Gentile), a pudgy, foul-mouthed rocker wannabe fleeing suburbia for fame and fortune in Hollywood. Fans of the "D" will no doubt enjoy this tongue-in-cheek "biopic"/raunchfest, but Black, Gass, and director Liam Lynch wring no more than a handful of laughs from their repetitious, self-indulgent narrative, which is briefly enlivened by funny cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins. ...
