Being in desperate financial straits, the dual determine that the key to success is a peculiar guitar pick used by all the great rockers featured on the covers of "The Rolling Stone." When they show the cover photos of the pick to the manager of The Guitar Center, the ex-guitar tech turned rock historian tells them the history of The Pick of Destiny--the darkest secret in the history of rock. The Pick, he informs them, now resides in the Rock and Roll History Museum--an impenetrable fortress.

One of the funniest movies I have seen in a really long time. Even if you're not a TD fan (which I don't consider myself to be), watch this movie. You might want to wear depends because there's a good chance you will piss yourself laughing.
This is a funny movie, and I do like Jack Black. The story was ridiculous even for a comedy, and it was really really stupid. But it made me laugh, and at the end of the day isnât that what comedies are all about? So I did think it was a really fun... (read more) This is a funny movie, and I do like Jack Black.

So I did think it was a really funny movie, but other then that, it was pointless.
One of my favorite movies EVER about one of my favorite bands EVER. This is awesome... Directed by Liam Lynch? Oh my god icing on the cake.... CAUSE THIS IS MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER!
I wanted to love this movie before I bought it, I wanted to hate it halfway through, but then Jack Black is saved because he did pushups with his wang. You gotta give him points for them shits, and the devil is DAVE MFin GROHL!!! Bam.

If thou wouldst rock tonight, thou couldst rock mightily tonight at Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.full review
Gass and Black should have been given a few more chances to go completely bonkers.full review
Not as bad as the godawful trailer might lead you expect, but not the gut-buster that longtime fans of the D must have been hoping for, either.full review
The movie lags on occasion, but it also has quite a few laughs.full review
The plot pings along energetically, and if it rarely makes much sense, it usually finds the shortest distance between two jokes. Like a dumb but infectious rock song, you can't really justify loving the movie for any serious reason.full review
