Awesome nonsense

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2013)

"Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny" is rock and roll translated to celluloid, everything about it just kicks you in the face. The plot is all over the place, you just never know where the next scene is going to take you. If you managed to figure out the ending to this movie in advance, I'm really impressed and slightly worried. The acting is also really energetic, Jack Black plays every Jack Black character ever but here it fits best. I also love all the cameos, some faces just show up totally unexpectedly (I won't spoil the surprises). The best part is undoubtedly the music though. Tenacious D might just be the best guilty pleasure band in the history of guilty pleasures. Much like with Spinal Tap, I know it's played for laughs but I just genuinely enjoy their music. This movie is worth watching for "Master Exploder" alone. Overall "Pick Of Destiny" is pretty great, even when you're not stoned (though it probably helps).
