Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2006)

I caught this at an advanced screening and i have to say that this is a contender for film of the year. The shear stupidity and cutting edge soundtrack bring this film into my top 5 list. The story starts out with a young JB and him living with his religious family, he escapes his father with the help of Dio and embarks to find a rock mentor. As he grows older (Jack Black) he meets KG (Kyle Gass), a rocking, lying guitar player in Venice beach. They come to here about a magical pick called the pick of destiny. They embark on a quest to find the pick and on the way get into all kinds of trouble. JB gets high on magic mushrooms and meets sasquatch, KG goes to a fraternity party. The film has some amazing cameo appearances such as meatloaf (JBs Father), Ben Stiller (Guitar store worker) and Tim Robbins as a crippled foreigner. It is the story of the rise of Tenacious D and how they came about. Overall i gave this film 10/10 as it is what i love in a film- Stupid,kick-ass soundtrack and a host of celebrity cameos. Long Live The D!
