    JB: A long ass fucking time ago, in a town called Kickapoo, there lived a humble family religious through and through. But yay, there was a black sheep, And he knew just what to do. His name was young JB and he refused to step in line. A vision he did see of fucking rocking all the time. He wrote a tasty jam and all the planets did align.

    An epic prequel chronicling the begining of a saga. This is about Jables and Rage Kage forming one of the most important rock and roll bands of all time, and they are known as Tenacious D.

    JB: Kyle's fingers be silver
    KG: Jack's voice then be gold
    JB: but lest you think we're vain
    JB: we know you're all robots and we don't care. Tenacious D we reign!

    A lot of good fun. This movie works along the same lines as a movie like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. If you've seen The D's previous works: their TV show, listened to their CD, or seen them actually perform, then you will like the movie a lot more. Even without that, the movie can still be pretty funny. It's completely ridiculous and over-the-top, even if it does have some hit-or-miss moments.

    JB: If you think it's time to fucking rock and fucking roll, out of control...

    The story is basically a prequel to Tenacious D's rise to "fame." After forming the band, the duo go on a journey to try and find a legendary guitar pick, hoping to make them the greatest band ever.

    Lee: [after the first show] That was amazing, you guys changed people's lives tonight.
    KG: I know, it was so awesome dude.
    JB: Yeah, it was awesome, compared to bullshit!

    Jack Black is back in his R-rated profanity mode that can be hilarious, but he is at his funniest when he actually preforms his songs. Kyle Gass is also funny, not just a side kick, but his own half of the duo that is just as important.

    Open Mic Host: We've got one spot left. you guys got any new material?
    JB: What we got's gonna turn your brain into shit.

    There are also plenty of cameos that work just as well, including Lucifer himself, as well as a number of familiar faces for D fans.

    The Stranger: I'm going to slice out your eyes, and your balls. And then I am going to stick your eyes in your ball sacks. And then I will take your balls, and I will put them in your eyeholes!

    The movie is a rock opera at heart, full of some good ole' fashion rock and roll with some good laughs.

    JB: What do you want, 'Non-Rocker'? This line is reserved for 'Rockers Only', so I can't really talk to you right now!

    The Pick of Destiny is a very powerful musical comedy. A movie with the typical kind of humor Jack Black use in his movie, with a little of farts and some sex jokes as well. The music is great all and each one of the songs are original and written by Tenacious D specially for the movie. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are hilarious together and the special appearance of Ben Stiller is great.

    I had a good time watching this one. Although this film doesn't size up in terms of storyline and/or plot development, the music made it all up for me. It was rockin. You can consider this a musical perhaps because of all the rockin and head-bangin taking place and I tell you, its one hell of a musical. The songs were supervised of course by Tenacious D and I guarantee you, if you're a fan of rock and roll, you will absolutely love this one. The songs gave me the LSS and that happens to me rarely.

    Ben Stiller, Tim Robbins and David Grohl (of the Foo Fighters) made cameo appearances which was a delight. Tim Robbins as a bum with a bum leg was so hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing. The rockin duo of course were funny as hell. The comedic timing and the delivery of jokes were spot-on. Add to that the crackalackin' music of Jables and Rage Kage and you're in for a musical rockin extravaganza you've never experienced before.

    3.5/5
