TENACIOUS D AND THE PICK OF DESTINY

If you've heard their first CD or watched the HBO series, you'll know exactly what to expect and they make references to things you've heard/seen in both of those previous medias.

Basically, it starts out showing you JB (Jack Black) leaving his strict family as a teenager, and taking the wisdom of Ronnie James Dio, heads off to California in search of 'the one that will teach him the ways of Rock'. Once he gets out there several years later, he comes across a guitar god in the making - KG (Kyle Gass). They eventually form a bond after a rocky start and realize it was destiny for them to meet and form a band. On their way to becoming great, they notice that all the great bands used the same guitar pick and decide to do a little research into and learn that 'the pick of destiny' is really the tooth of satan with the power to give greatness to those that use it. they head off in search of this pick so that they can create their masterpiece - hilarity ensues. It also shows ya 'that fateful night' that they make reference to in their single 'Tribute'

Part of the movie is in musical form, the other half is just normal movie - the musical numbers are pretty funny though! And 90% of the music is new stuff by Tenacious D.

There's also a short little scene after the credits too, so don't miss that!

if ya like Tencious D, metal/rock, or a comedy, definately go see this one - it was pretty funny and the cameo's are pretty cool too - Meatloaf as JB's strict dad, Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters) as Satan, Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins also have funny cameo's also.
