Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
How sad is this?
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a fun movie, even not being so funny, the movie will give some laughs, and of course a lot of fun, I liked the chemistry of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, both are excellent, the cast is very competent, especially Tim Hobbins this very well, the opening scene is funny, and the final scene is quite bizarre, the makeup is good, the film has strange moments, the soundtrack is the strong point of the film, the script is problematic, some dialogues are very weak, not to mention having jokes sheepishly, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny is recommended, especially those who like Rock, the film is fun and guarantee a few laughs. Note 6.8
Greetings from Lithuania."Tenacious D" (2006) is a truly smart and funny movie, if you like this kind of "stoned" humor. The story is also kinda "stoned", but it's good. There are some truly funny cameos, who did great job, and also spotted Amy Adams in one super short scene.Overall, this is the kind of movie where you don't think seriously about the plot, because it is absurd. But if you take the premise, it is a truly funny stuff. Writing is especially good, it kinda captures viewers attention from the opening scene till the end. And the music they played was not that bad actually, which is kinda bad, which is weird as is this funny movie.
Jack Black has proved his talent and has been in many great movies, especially Orange County & Saving Silverman. People loved and cherished the band's song "Tribute", so I felt let-down that two really funny comedians made this movie without putting any solid effort into it. Seriously, I love Jack Black, but this movie was a bunch of hooey! I wasn't expecting a brilliant story or significant character development, but my gosh, was this a terrible experience. All the hype for nothing! If you're a fan of Jack Black, like I was, I can guarantee you'll hate this movie (unless you enjoy pointless humor that's incredibly forced and doesn't work). The only way to know how bad it is is to see it for yourself and I dare you.
This is one of those movies that aren't perfect comedies, but it isn't a bad comedy either. It provides some good laughs, but it also provides some very dumb laughs. The movie is good in the sense that it did make you laugh, but the storytelling was just bad. I didn't love this movie, but I didn't hate it either. I liked it, it was cute. It was amusing. Plus, usually anything with Jack Black in it is good. I don't usually listen to Tenacious D's music, though I have heard a majority of their songs and thought they were pretty good. Above all, this is a good movie if you're looking for some good laughs, but not looking for something that's going to stick with you for years due to the acting, storytelling, etc. This is just a fun-ish and dumb type of movie. It's like most of the National Lampoon movies. Like Van Wilder. It was one of those types of movies, but this one I enjoyed for the music, and the laughs.If you don't know by now this is a movie about the fictional formation of the band Tenacious D. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are the legends behind this band. The movie starts off with a very funny song called Kickapoo, in which we learn Jack Black as a child was the black sheep of his religious family, and he gets a message from Dio. Dio tells him in lyrical form that if he wants to be a rock star, he must go to Hollywood. It takes years for him to get to Hollywood, and that's where the whole movie basically starts. Jack Black meets Kyle Gass, whom he assumes is a legend just by his little rock performance on the streets. Kyle Gass says he'll teach Jack Black his ways, but then we find out he's actually a broke dude living in a crappy apartment. They set out to become the best rock band ever by finding the Pick of Destiny. The movie features a lot of good laughs, mainly caused by crude stuff. The movie also features a lot of dumb laughs. Some of these are just dumb laughs in which you think, Wow, why am I watching this? and some are just, Wow, that was so dumb, that it's funny. The movie features a lot of foul language and coarse humor, but most of the time, it isn't too excessive. A lot of the language and humor is found in the Tenacious D songs made for this movie. Example, Master Exploder. Good song, and the circumstances in which the song was played was very dumb, but it was generally amusing. Or Beelzeboss, the rock-off with the devil, that was dumb but it was also genuinely funny. The movie works because of the funny rock lyrics, and the rock songs, themselves.Overall, if you aren't looking for something that's in depth with it's story and characters, and you are just in search for some good laughs, then you should watch Tenacious D. Not my favorite movie, but I didn't hate it. It was funny, but dumb as well.6/10
