Turn up, tune in, laugh out loud...
This is pretty much a laugh a minute nudge at good old rock, and us good ol rockers !. It has more or less a complete where's wally line up of semi-hidden stars all over the place, including Dio and the Devil (Grohl), I still can't tell which is Dio and which is the underlord.

What utter rubbish!!
Well this movie is totally and utterly rubbish, from start to finish you get the idea that Jack Black and Kyle Gass are on one big ego trip.

Childish humour, silly and poor acting and the constant bad language make this one of the poorest movies I have watched so far this year.
Rent the story of metal DVD if you want to watch the TRUE story of how metal began, its way better than this tripe.
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
Claudia PuigThe D in Tenacious D could easily stand for dunderheads. Or development, as in the arrested variety.
Lest you think Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny has anything to do with defensive moves in basketball, we should clarify it's about a pair of deluded doofuses who want to form the greatest band on Earth. Their goal is to be the kind of rockers who specialize in dramatic and overblown heavy-metal rock opera.
Tenacious D is a musical duo made up of clueless but lovable lunks played by Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Expanded from their short films on HBO's Mr. Show sketch comedy program, the movie gives us a glimpse into their childhoods.
Black's character is shown at 10, shocking his conservative family with his rockin' ways. He turns to...
