Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny

Director: Laim Lynch
Year: 2006
Stars: Jack Black, Kyle Gass, JR Reed, David Grohl, Tim Robbins

This is an incredibly silly film. It's also really rather funny. Of course, if you hate rock music, random copious amounts of swearing or Jack Black, then you're going to hate this. Otherwise, you may well be very amused.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass are Tenacious D, and this is their story of how they met, and their subsequent quest to find the guitar pick of destiny. The pick is a part of the devil himself, and has bought all metal heroes, Eddie Van Halen amongst them, to instant fame.

I wasn't expecting much from this, but I came away with a big grin on my face, feeling glad that I'd spent two hours of my life watching something quite so stupid - and fun.

Rating: 4 out of 5
