COMPLETE REVIEW BELOW
Review by Anne Jackson
Please take the thirty seconds necessary to skim
through this review of Tenacious D – The Pick of
Destiny. I am trying to save you from wasting 90
minutes of your precious life. In fact, this
introduction in itself should keep you away from this
movie. At this moment, if you are convinced not to
see this movie, please move on to the next
meaningful thing in your life. I refuse to let this
movie even indirectly (via means of this review) steal
away the sand in your hourglass.
If you are still thinking of seeing this movie, let me
take a clear approach and encourage you by one
simple word:
Don’t.
Jack Black is funny, yes. Nacho Libre, School of
Rock – all favorites of mine. I laughed and talked
about and quoted them for weeks and months after
seeing them. However, when Jack Black partnered
with his Tenacious D buddy Kyle Gass on The Pick of
Destiny, a strange reaction occurred that removed all
humor and intelligence and wit from this film. I have
been thinking on this movie for the last 10 days and
still have not found words dumb enough to describe
the complete disaster this movie ends up being. The
plot is simple – Jack and Kyle are on a search for the
Pick of Destiny which will turn them into the most
amazing rock stars ever. That is really all the plot
entails.
I highly recommend you participate in one of the
following events that will be a much better use of
your time than seeing this movie:
- Help the Fall season along by climbing the
tree in your front yard and plucking each and every
leaf off. Watch each one fall to the ground
slowly.
- Polish your mother’s silverware for
Thanksgiving. Seven times.
- Speaking of Thanksgiving, try roasting your
turkey with a lighter.
- Knit a scarf or two. For each member of
The Rockettes. They always look cold.
Please. Save your 90 minutes. I give this movie a
0.25 out of 5. And that is simply for the fact there
were no typos in the credits.
