Critics Consensus

Tenacious D fans will find this movie hilarious; everybody else will see only a low-brow concept movie and a small assembly of jokes stretched past the 100-minute mark.

Time Out

Clearly intended to be viewed through a haze of marijuana smoke, it'd be against the law for us to recommend this film.

The Pick of Destiny ain't going to win any awards, and the girls don't get much of a look-in, but it will strike a few power chords with a certain generation that is too old to disco and too young to die.

Rated: 3/5

Empire Magazine

For fans, a crowd-surf over Tenacious D's best bits. For the unbaptised, a novelty movie of a novelty band, big on spirit but in search of a script.

Rated: 3/5

The List

It's a fun ride in the puerile style of Kevin Smith, but for non-fans of Black or the D, this will grate like a tone-deaf musician.

Rated: 2/5

The Tyee (British Columbia)

If you put your brain in park, it's all vaguely amusing, in a silly fashion, much like a Ramones song, three chords of dumb fun that blows away like so much dry-ice smoke.

Yup, it's Jack Black -- with an "R" ... really.

An entirely underrated film. My favorite musical comedy hands down. A good natured laugh riot.

A cult classic, kinda a mix of Mighty Boosh and Spinal Tap humour. Lots of laughs!

The Pick of Destiny, a modern day Blues Brothers. Brilliantly written comedy that has become a cult classic over the years. Way before its time, and taught me to understand good music and humour. Although not the point of the movie, I related to the music and humour so much, I decided to peruse a career in the music and performing arts industry.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
