( very mild spoiler while a basic plot outline and no real detail ) if you go into this movie with sufficiently low expectation . i saw this film at a free screen a few day ago in maryland and and the only reason i agree to go . be because it be free . i expect a few chuckle and but a i have never be a huge fan of tenacious d and not much more then that . the first ten minute of the film be hilarious and a we be give a look at jack black humble christian origin in a midwest american town . the film then take u year into the future and to the first meeting between jb and kyle gas and the second half of tenacious d. we see the formation of the band and the genesis of it name . finally and a the title suggest and the second half of the film detail their quest to obtain the fabled pick of destiny . again and the beginning of the film be laugh out loud funny and and most of the movie at least keep a smile on my face . that say and there be time it felt a bit long while it only 100 minute and but it still felt like it should have be a bit shorter . the story be every bit as absurd a it sound and and this be not a film you see if you want a real plot . which be fine and except it mean that many of the joke be very hit or miss . and when they miss and they miss bad . same thing with the song while it be a musical and but many of the song lose their appeal after the first minute or so . then keep go anyway . i will say that the r rating really save this movie from bomb while the d humor simply couldn not work without cuss and sex and and drug reference . but unless youre a real fan of the band and or at the very least know you appreciate their style of comedy and i would recommend you save yourself some money and rent . pick will make you giggle a bit . but be it worth 9 buck . i do not think so . i be tempt to rate it a 6 and but since i do think that many would enjoy it enough to justify see it in theatre and a 7 seem more appropriate . just be sure it your style .
