JB and KG rock

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2010)

While this movie is not as funny as Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap, The Pick of Destiny is a funny look into a fictional version of how Jack Black and Kyle Gass formed Tenacious D.
JB and KG play themselves easily as guys who write improvised and original songs. They wonder how all of the bands they idolize rock and they find the same guitar pick in many pictures. JB and KG find out from a music store employee, in a cameo by Ben Stiller, that the pick is called the Pick of Destiny.
JB and KG make it their mission to find this pick so that they can play awesome music.
There are also cameos by Amy Poehler, Tim Robbins, and John C. Reilly. The movie is full of laughs through the situations that JB and KG go through. It is also more raunchy and inappropriate as Spinal Tap, but still worth a look.
