(1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1   A "The Pick of Destiny is a Gravitron ride of nard-crunching brilliance and explosivo satisfaction, and it's been a long time coming for Tenacious D."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 "...designed to appeal solely to fans of Jack Black and Kyle Gass..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "The first ten minutes are brilliant and then, for the most part, the fun (and music) screech to a halt."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's a one-joke movie -- sort of how Tenacious D is a one-joke band -- but it's a joke that can be pretty funny sometimes."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "For the amount of years it took to bring their cultish misadventures to the big screen, someone must have had a B-side script cause that would have been a letter up."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/4 "May just win over the rockers of old and new..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. D "Makes Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure look like a model of cerebral wit...there's a difference between genuine satire and Three Stooges-style stupidity."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "My advice: set aside the money you would have spent on a ticket toward buying the soundtrack. That way, you can get all that's moderately good about Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny without having to endure the substantial bad."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "The narrative, not surprisingly, is really just an excuse to string together a series of comic and musical setpieces, some of which work better than others."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/10 "Apart from the cameos, the movie limps along from one satiric rock song to another, with only the music to carry it."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "When they weren't performing, I frequently lost the will to live."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is diverting and fun and a great treat for fans, but it's as forgettable as Chinese dinner at the nursing home."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4.0 "If you have to ask what kind of push-ups members of the band Tenacious D require, this isn't the movie for you..."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/4 "It's Spinal Tap and Wayne's World rolled into one burrito supreme, with extra rocket sauce!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "...plays out like a Bill and Ted adventure that stalls a bit in its third act plotting."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "There isn't enough plot to fill out the film's 90-minute running time, but there are rude laughs ... and inspired bits tucked in amid the padding."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "[A] hilarious bastard child of This Is Spinal Tap and Wayne's World, and one of the funniest movies I've seen this year."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "I wasn't always sure what I was watching, or who thought it up, but it was always amusing and never boring."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "A script as saggy as the duo's bare tushes."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "It's hard to complain too much about this loosey-goosey romp's patchiness when one of the rocking songs features the lyric "You're gonna gargle mayonnaise"...and the reference isn't to Hellman's."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "It feels only half thought through--funny but stretching one joke far beyond the breaking point."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "I enjoyed it, though as a casual fan who also dug the Tenacious D album and DVD, I don't know how it'll play for newcomers."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B- "... low-wattage power slide down a yellow-brick road of thrash cliches, stoner skits and music-video parodies"   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2.5/5 "Sure, the movie's half-baked. But there's a very good chance the audience is, as well."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 1.5/4 "Absurdly overlong skit masquerading as a feature film."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 25) of 25 OFCS Rating: 60% Fresh Page   1
