Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...husband has been playing the Tenacious D album in the car constantly for about 3 months and I have grown so tired of hearing it that it is starting to drive me slowly insane. So when he came home today and proudly announced that he had bought the DVD, I was less than happy about it. I have to admit though, that I do like Jack Black and find him to be quite funny so decided that, in the interest of providing you all with a decent review on this, I ...
...a rear-end birthmark and so Tenacious D is born. After trying out at the open microphone night, JB and KG decide to compete in the final to win their rent money. But realise that they need an "edge" on the competition. They discover that the legends of rock seem to all have a similar guitar pick and so set out to buy one. At the music store, they meet aging rocker/sales assistant (played by Ben Stiller) who informs them that this is the "Pick of ...

...a lie but the form Tenacious D, and set off in search of the illusive "Pick of Destiny", a guitar pick crafted from Satan's tooth. Upon finding the pick, they are forced to battle Satan in the only way they can, with rock! Review: I would class myself as a minor fan of Tenacious D's music. I bought their album a couple of years back and while it was not the most accomplished CD musically, I couldn't deny that it was hilarious and at least something ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...quite a big fan of Tenacious D - they've always had a comic charm, and hilarious musicianship to boot. When i heard they were making a film, i was dubious as i'd seen their 'Complete Masterworks' series, and i didn't think it fitted their characters. Don't get me wrong, there's something hilarious about Jack and Kyle in Kiss style makeup, two slightly portly blokes with guitars claiming 'We didn't mean to blow your mind - that s*** happens to us ...
...see older jokes from the first album coming back, as well as some cracking music, but it is a shame that i do not believe that the film itself would appear as even mediocre without the music. Shame, Tenacious D, if i were you, i'd stick to the music. ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...am a great fan of Tenacious D, and unfortunately, I found that a large portion of the film was very unoriginal. It seemed that an awfully large portion of the film was taken from the old Tenacious D material, especially the ‘Cock push-ups’ joke, taken from the popular debut album. The HBO episodes (of Tenacious D trying to make it big, believe it or not!) have had a lot taken out and used in the film, which I will explain slightly later. I did point ...
...amazing. Being a Tenacious D fan, I enjoyed parts of the film, but guess that if you do not know the previous Tenacious D material, you may not enjoy it as much. However, the jokes may seem funnier, if you have not heard them before. The beginning is good, the ending is good, but unfortunately the middle is rather awful. It actually took me a lot of will power to decide not to turn it off! Therefore, I would not really recommend buying the DVD, which ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...view of knowing nothing about Tenacious D, but being a fan of Jack Black in School of Rock, and enjoying spoofs such as Spinal Tap, Wayne's World and Bill and Ted. So, based on the above, it seemed reasonable to rent this DVD. I thought I was in for a treat. What a mistake. What we have here is 90 minutes of the most turgid, pre-teen toilet and tits 'n' ass humour imaginable. The film is a 15 certificate, but it's an unwatchable embarrassment for ...
...ruined by too-obvious gags, unfunny prat falls and overlong, self-indulgent scenes (the mushroom trip sequence with Sasquaatch being a prime example). I have to say I could not watch this to the end. If you're a fan of Tenacious D, you've already seen this. If you're not, don't! ...

...half has got quite into Tenacious D lately so we rented this DVD form Tesco Dvd Rentals, which was free as I've currently got a 14 day free trial with them. Who Are Tenacious D Tenacious D are a band made up of actor Jack Black and Kyle Gass (he\'s also an actor but from what I can gather has only really had bit parts) Story Jack Black plays himself or (JB as he refers to himself in the film). The film starts with JB as a child who just wants ...
...off well but it all gets a bit too silly towards the end. It\'s fun yet predictable. It doesn\'t take itself too seriously and thats the whole point of the film. I would recommend highly to rock fansand especially Tenacious D fans but anybody else just wouldn\'t really get it. ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

WHAT IS IT: Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny is a comedy movie starring Jack Black and Kyle Gass who make up rock band/humorous song performers Tenacious D. The story follows JB (Black) as a young boy in a strict religious town who longs to emulate his rock heroes and eventually leaves for Hollywood to pursue his dreams. There he meets KG (Gass) who by a strange twist of fate has the other half to JB's birthmark to make the name of the greatest rock ...
...lap up any old crap Tenacious D put out. I think it's a real shame that they have put out a movie that obviously involved so little thought as a lot of their songs are funny and well written so they obviously have some talent in this area. If you look at the credits for the film, you will see that they wrote and produced the film as well as starring in it. Perhaps the film would have been better if they had got some experienced film writers in to ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...saying I am A HUGE Tenacious D fan. Loved the HBO stuff, I own both albums & the other DVD. This film has some of the D's history but there just aren't enough new ideas to keep it going. The simple idea that rock groups are good because they use a pick that was part of Satan is OK. The trip to find the pick is far too easy and should involve more things happening on their journey. What makes this film are some excellent cameo's from Meatloaf as young ...
...introduce new people to the tenacious d lore and history. Some of the deleted scenes (like the song in the gun shop) were taken out and it was a mistake as it screwed up bits of the context of the film. The songs all fit well into the process of the movie but as i said i do wish there was more happening as the trip to the roll & roll history museum is just far too easy. Even the nod to The Blues Brothers with the car chase on the way back to the ...

This was a hilarious movie, which may even be called a rock musical. With an entertaining storyline, the humour provided by Tenacious D and a host of guest cameos will make this movie one to watch. ...

Review of Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

...those of you who are tenacious D fans this film is truly worthwhile buying. It starts of with a young Jack Black who is the rude rebel in his christian family, with Meat Loaf as his father. I loved the fact that everything from the songs and previous dvd are included in this film. The soundtrack is also worth buying, as it has some great guitar riffs and vocal solos! It is very funny and will have you crying with laughter at all the random tenacious ...

...and created the band called Tenacious D. After one underwhelming performance as Tenacious D at an open mic contest, they think about what they need to do to become great. As it turns out, all of the top musicians at one time in their lifetime had a green guitar pick, known as the pick of destiny. The film then follows them on their journey to find the mystical pick. I have never seen any movie, even musical that start in such a rocking fashion. ...
...gets that good again (it gets pretty damn close though). It puts you in a place that is both reality that we have felt, and fantasy that we have read about. Acting wise, Jack Black and Kyle Gass pull off a stunner, and whilst a great cameo appearance from Ben Stiller that didn't make me gag, those two shone through to be the front men in this movie. For all of those fans at the D foremost, this film will not disappoint, in fact, I have now become ...

...look into the making of Tenacious D. In fact, according to JB and KG, the name was derived from the words TENAC imprinted on JB's ass, which he states, "I looked for it in the dictionary, it wasn't in there!" The other half, IOUS D, was found on the opposite cheek of KG's anus, which their number 1 fan, pizza/driving instructor, cleverly pointed out spelled TENACIOUS D when they both mooned him simultaneously, side by side. The plot begins with Jack ...

Gig simulation now there's nowhere to hide. They formed a band they named Tenacious D. and then they got the Pick Of Destiny." Cock pushup proves to be a vital skill on there mission, and later so does the power slide in a humorous escape from musuem moron ...

Jack Black and Kyle Gass. This is one of the funniest films I have seen for a long time. Full of drugs, sex and rock and roll. Both me and my husband were laughing our heads off. Cameo appearances by Meatloaf and Tim Robbins and Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters as the Devil had me in stitches. It only has a 15 rating but be warned it is a bit crude at times and while I found it funny when just me and my hubby watch it I was a little embarrasssed watching ...

If you like films full of cheap jokes mainly relating to farting and the F word, together with full on rock and roll musical comedy, then you'll like this. If your more about original, breakthrough comedy that has witty lines and more constructed jokes this probably isnt your cup of tea. I personally am a fan of both and think this film is a very good choice for any film fan who fancies an easy to view, chilling out with mates film, packed full of ...
