Clearly intended to be viewed through a haze of marijuana smoke, it’d be against the law for us to recommend this film.

Tenacious D's big screen outing is extremely patchy but the laughs just about compensate for all the dull, unamusing bits.

The Pick of Destiny ain't going to win any awards, and the girls don't get much of a look-in, but it will strike a few power chords with a certain generation that is too old to disco and too young to die.

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.

It feels only half thought through--funny but stretching one joke far beyond the breaking point.

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is diverting and fun and a great treat for fans, but it's as forgettable as Chinese dinner at the nursing home.

I enjoyed it, though as a casual fan who also dug the Tenacious D album and DVD, I don't know how it'll play for newcomers.

While the flick has a few funny moments likely to make the general public laugh, at heart it's a Tenacious D tribute layered with asides and inside jokes scripted with the group's diehard fans in mind.

Apart from the cameos, the movie limps along from one satiric rock song to another, with only the music to carry it.

Being a Jack Black fan is mandatory for this zany, energetic and relentless buddy movie, rock opera and crass low-brow comedy which no doubt has more appeal with mood enhancers - a hyperactive dose of Jack Black in a self-indulgent rock fantasy.
02/10/07
Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny has some low-brow laughs, but ultimately the silliness of the story and Black's frantic antics aren't enough to sustain the 90-minute plus running time.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny proves one thing: Rock and roll never dies. It just gains weight.

The duo strains at their comedy the same way they strain at their music.
