April 4, 2012Two metal obsessed losers move to Hollywood and plan find fame and fortune by stealing a guitar pick fashioned from one of Satan's teeth. Tenacious D in: The Pick Of Destiny is Jack Black doing Jack Black. Again. If you've seen School Of Rock, High Fidelity or hell, anything else... read more

February 18, 2012First i'll admit i'm a fan of the band Tenacious D and expected the same humour used in their songs. I got that. What more does a fan of one of the most awesomest rock bands ever need than their comedy and rockin tunes extended to the length of a movie? Nothing. The unfaithful ho... read more

November 22, 2011A mediocre comedy that I expected so much, as the trailers for this film seemed to make this one quite hilarious. Unfortunately, it was mildly funny, and the end result was a film that didn't quite deliver the goods. Considering that I don't like Jack Black because of the fact he... read more

September 18, 2011Jack Black stars in most likely his first "hard-R" comedy. Don't get me wrong, the songs in THE PICK OF DESTINY are hysterical--Jack Black is a great musician and his rock duo, Tenacious D, has a talent with humor--but as for the film, it's so hard to get through to the general ... read more

June 9, 2011Well, I watched this film expecting Amy Adams to have a decent role.....no, she's barely in the film at all. She's in one tiny scene. I was sad. But, Tenacious D turned out to be a funny ride.
It's so silly, but it mostly has the kind of quirkyness that creates a unique kind o... read more -
May 4, 2011This is probably one of the best comedies ever made. It doesn't really deliver in the heart factory, but if you are looking for a movie that will make you laugh till you cry, look no further than the gang of JB and KG.
The only negative I can really think of about this movie i... read more -
June 24, 2010A long ass fuckin' time ago,
In a town called Kickapoo,
There lived a humble family
Religious through and through.
But hey there was a black sheep,
And he knew just what to do.
His name was young J.B.
And he refused to step in line.
A vision he did see of
Fuckin' rockin'... read more -

January 29, 2010You don't need to be a TD fan to enjoy this rollercoaster ride of musical fun. Although far from perfect, it's a great movie to watch with some friends on a boring weekend :-)

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Begins with flatulence, ends with flatulence and is one big gaseous emission in between. Full Review

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Even considering Black's prodigious talents, Pick gets tiresome way too quickly. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Black thrives in these grubby environs. His full-throttle bodily chaos makes more sense in movies done on the cheap than in blockbusters and polished comedies. Full Review

Teresa Budasi, Chicago Sun-Times
The bottom line: Jack Black rocks -- especially when he rocks. Full Review

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
There's nothing heavy about this metal-loving comedy, and there's a lot that is good-hearted. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Once again, we have a movie that packs about 20 minutes of entertainment -- much of it involving the band's occasionally funny lyrics -- into a 90-minute package.
November 23, 2006
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Manages to hold our attention for an entire 97 minutes, a feat that even metal bands with real Marshall amps are hard-pressed to accomplish. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
Nonbelievers need not apply. And that means you, Manilow fans. Full Review
