Overall I think it is a good movie to watch! Everyone who likes rock music should watch it! It'll give you a good laugh!
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 areold, balding, tubby rockstar-wannabesis 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)
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.

- TriviaUntil this film, Meat Loaf had not sang in a movie since The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) because he wanted to be accepted in the industry as a serious actor. He even thought that his appearance in "The Pick of Destiny" would "ruin" him, but he took the role of JB's father anyway.
- GoofsThe map shows Hollywood, Florida in the northeastern part of the state, near Jacksonville. It's actually in southern Florida, near Miami.
