Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny (1 viewing)
Plot : Two friends determined to be the next big rock band try to obtain a magical guitar pick with the devil's power embedded into it.
Story : Jack Black raised in a very religious family - his dreams of becoming a rock and roll legend are crushed by his father , but with some inspiration from his poster he decides to leave his house and find a partner. Kyle Gass a masterfull guitar player meets Jack and they become friends , though their music just dosen't seem to have the edge they crave , a guitar store owner (Ben Stiller) guides them to a powerfull guitar pick in the rock hall of fame. The story never has any pointless turns (aside from the big-foot part) and keeps going at a pretty fast pace , but the only characters that ever have anything happen to them are the two main characters - though we are introduced to many characters that aren't ever fleshed out. The film's ending certainly dosen't help the movie , when it comes out of nowhere.
Humor : The begining is where the majority of the humor is , there are some parts later which are funny : but it never made me "really!" laugh.
Music : Some parts are much better than others lyrically and some parts are really fun to listen to. Defintly something that dosen't subtract from the movie - except toward the end the seemingly weak finale.
Visuals : Though there are some "ok" moments for the visuals and it gets the job done , but defintly not anything special . Satan looked really dumb though in my opion.
Sypnosis : You'll enjoy it for the first viewing and will probably laugh a couple times : but it just dosen't have classic potential. Keep in mind I am not a fan of jack black or tenacious D .
