So you want to be an awesome rock star, but you’re just not any good! Is there any way to remedy this? Yes, by finding the same secret weapon all the pros used – the Pick of Destiny.
Jack Black and Kyle Gass from the band Tenacious D have the very same dilemma in the movie Tenacious D: the Pick of Destiny.
Jack meets Kyle when he is singing for money in a park. They decide they should become the rock group Tenacious D after they realize their birthmarks (on their behinds) spell it out.
After they realize that they are no good, they do some research and they find out that all the greats used the same guitar pick
They find out that the pick is actually made out of the horn of Satan (played by David Grohl of the Foo Fighters.) So, they go on a mission to acquire the pick, as it’s the only way they will become good enough to compete in the talent show at a local club.
Jack Black is hysterical in this movie. He has some great one-liners, and some of the scenes are so ridiculous that your sides will ache from laughter. One of the funniest scenes is when Jack eats some wild mushrooms he finds and starts hallucinating that he is hanging out with Bigfoot.
The movie has an awesome sound track, completely made by Tenacious D. It also is full of wisecracks, insane antics, and of course, sex jokes. It has a good cast of actors too, such as Tim Robbins and Ben Stiller. Some of the jokes may not be appropriate for the more mature crowd, and definitely not for the kiddies.
If you are a fan of the music duo, or a fan of ridiculous or off-the-wall movies, then you will love this one. If you are not a fan of laughing, then steer clear of this one.
