Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny

Comedy. Musical In Venice Beach, naive Midwesterner JB (Black) bonds with local slacker KG (Glass) 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.
Media Author Review
United States
SFGATE
"Comic gold for anyone who is currently stoned, has been stoned in the past or spends a lot of time around stoned people." 
United States
AV Club
"A good 90 percent of The D's creative juices were expended on The Pick Of Destiny's brilliant opening sequence" 
United States
New York Daily News
Proudly, and often hilariously, juvenile, 'Destiny' is packed with typically grandiose Tenacious D anthems - the sort that thrill 15-year-old boys listening alone in their bedrooms"
United States
USA Today
"The movie is spotty. The short films, essentially comic sketches, were more consistently funny" 
United States
New York Post
"The beginning and end are classics"
United States
Variety
"The pic struggles at times to flesh out even its relatively brief 90-odd-minute duration, but it delivers some genuine if generally low-brow laughs along the way."
United Kingdom
Empire
"For fans, a crowd-surf over Tenacious D’s best bits. For the unbaptised, a novelty movie of a novelty band, big on spirit but in search of a script."
United States
Chicago Tribune
"A large amount of dope is smoked in The Pick of Destiny, perhaps the most since the salad days of Cheech & Chong. This may be the problem. Pot rarely helped anybody's comic timing."
United States
The New York Times
"The Pick of Destiny is a garish mess, and some of it feels padded. But it has enough jokes to keep you smiling, and the spirit Mr. Black brings to it is a fervent (and touching) affection for the music he spoofs"
United States
Los Angeles Times
"Not only screams out to be a midnight movie, but one in need of, shall we say, an herbal supplement, and we aren't talking ginkgo biloba."
