Tenacious D - Uma Dupla Infernal

I saw this movie on a fluke.I was standing on 42nd street waiting for a bus to go home and a sister started passing out free tickets for a preview of this movie.I gave it a chance not expecting much.The promotional movie posters I've seen on the subway station walls do not give this film justice at all.

The movie is about a young rocker who goes on a journey to learn the craft and art of heavy metal.I'll leave it there.The movie is a heavy comedy and lot's of fun.If your are old enough to remember when Heavy Metal dominated the music scene in the eighties you are going to love this film.Jack Black is an amazingly talented comedian and actor and assuming he really wrote and performed the songs in this film he is also a talented musician.

Tenacious D is definitely worth a look!

Probably the best comedy in a long time. keeps you laughing nonstop! the acting is good and there are a lot of hilarious cameos such as Ben stiller as the guitar store guy. The plot wasn't as good as i had hoped but the comedy makes up for that. I can only hope for a sequel cause it seems like they can still do so much more. Even though it was 1 hour and 40 minutes long i still wanted more at the end :) also there is a scene after the credits which is actually one of my favorite parts of the movie!! I suggest this to anyone who loves a good comedy and Definitely suggest it to fans of The D or Jack Black. You should buy the album also, the songs are so damn catchy and hilarious, the music on it is Top Notch as well.

Just saw it at as closing film of Austin Film Festival. Going in, a had seen a few snippets of their act at Alamo Drafthouse, and thought the trailer was amusing but I wasn't expecting such an epic theme music and the use of tarot cards is genius in the title sequence. Watch out for cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins, and the dark lord himself (who has a fetish for KG). So much over-the-top fun and the songs are so catchy. The car chase was by far my favorite scene. I know this will earn cult status right away and win over some new Tenacious D fans, just like me. I hope this does well in the theaters. "Follow me, we are the shadows"

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a great movie with a really fun storyline and great performances from both Jack Black and Kyle Gass.This movie was a box office bomb when it came out,and I don't see why,I thought this movie was very enjoyable,it was really funny and had unbelievably good music numbers,and I thought Tenacious D would have a big enough fan base for this movie to make some decent money.I'm not a fan of the band,and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it unless I was,but I really did,and I also learned that Jack Black is actually a fantastic singer,and the rock off scene with David Grohl as Satan is something I will never forget.Fans of the band will definitely enjoy this movie and fans of Jack Black comedies will also.

Two men interested in becoming rock stars head off on a quest to find a guitar pick that is actually Satin's tooth in order to become big.

This was a 'steady' flick…not as fun as Jack Black's other films but definitely better than Nacho Libre. Personally, this musical comedy is so much easier to digest than other operatic Broadway drivel, especially if you are a fan of Tenacious D (their song "Wonderboy" is a real hoot!).

Black and Kyle Gass make up the band that is Tenacious D. Listen to their song "Tribute" to better appreciate the movie (the video's hilarious, too!). The movie is a spin-off of the song, which tells the story of how Tenacious D was formed to become the world's greatest band –by defeating Satan himself (played by the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl). Watch out for other cameos by Ben Stiller (also the executive producer), John C. Reilly and many more.

The plot is thin and ridiculous but you continue to watch it anyway just because it can be irreverently fun (living out the essence of rock). Also, because rooting for the underdogs that Black and Gass are—old, balding, tubby rockstar-wannabes—is such a classic crowd-pleasing formula. Watch it if you like rock, don't take things so seriously, and just want to zone out for some self-indulgent me-time. :o)
