Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny Should you have any concerns about what kind of movie this will be, all will be answered before the opening credits even begin.
It did for me.
Let's put it this way:
I'm a guy. Therefore I do enjoy a good fart joke. I love swearing and enjoy movies that use it with an over abundance. In my youth I loved Heavy Metal music and during that time Ronnie James Dio WAS my spiritual guide. Bongs are great and tripping IS a very awesome thing from those daze.
Now, I really don't like Jack Black. On rare occasions like
Bernie and
Kung Fu Panda I do enjoy him. But when he's playing, well, himself. . . .
Perhaps that was the fly in the ointment for me from the get-go, no matter how much I tried to enjoy this, I could not.
I won't elaborate, because that would be just rude and I truly have enjoyed a number of things Clazor has nominated - so, instead, I will mention that I thought it was VERY cool to see Meatloaf play Jack's religious dad. It was a great lil 180 degree turn from him playing roles like Eddie in Rocky Horror to this and his confrontation with a young Black showed all kinds of promise.
I also enjoyed Gass' character as well. Didn't love him, but I honestly did enjoy him. Chuckled a few times with him.
I am truly sorry, Clazor. I know not every thing is for every one, but still.
