some fun moments

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2016)

In Kickapoo, Missouri, JB (Jack Black) grew up as the black sheep in a religious family. He runs away to Hollywood... California. He finds Kyle Gass playing guitar on Venice Beach and he begs to join him. Eventually JB discovers that Kyle is a bald hopeless loser who is supported by his parents. With no money, they decide to form a band named after birth marks on their butts, Tenacious D. They discover that all the great bands have the same guitar pick. It's the Pick of Destiny made from a demon's tooth and presently housed in the Rock and Roll History Museum.
Kyle Gass needs to start off a little nicer. Jack Black is good. The duo does build a nice friendship. The quest is a good idea but separating them is not. They work best together. There is some fun but it comes and goes. Also the guys' music is same over and over again. It would be terrific to have a different sound in the movie although the rock battle with the demon is loads of fun. This stoner comedy is funny in small doses.
