jb ( jack black ) run away from home after be spank by his father ( meat loaf ) . year later and he finally make it to hollywood and come across the great guitar player he have ever hear and kg ( kyle glass ) . after a little squabble and the two decide join force and perform at an open mic night at what appear to be a less than popular bar . to their shock and they do not do that good . back at their less than spectacular apartment and the two be try to figure out what the legend of rock have that they do not while look at some old magazine . it only then that they realize that the guitarist on the cover have the same guitar pick . while try to look for a similar pick and an employee of the music shop ( ben stiller and who be also the film executive producer ) tell him the ancient story of the pick of destiny and of which they seek . this employee and who have long gray hair and thick glass and also tell them that the pick and which be make from satan tooth and be in a history of rock museum . now the two pot smoke loser with delusion of grandeur go on a music fill adventure to steal the pick . let me say this up front and if you be not a fan of tenacious d and which give u the comedy actor jack black and then you should skip this one . i be not a fan of these two and and only watch it because it be suggest by flixter . com . the joke and for the most part and produce silence more than anything . i laugh at maybe three of the joke and and chuckle at a few others . tenacious d be only for a certain audience and of which i be not . this movie lag in numerous place and and this be where the bad joke appear . and let me say that and when black and glass be not work off one another and they be completely lose on screen . all the song in this movie be by and perform by tenacious d. many of the song perfectly advance the storyline by describe their adventure at the time in the film . however and i felt that the song sound too similar to be tell apart . another problem with this film be that the language will turn off a lot of people . there be a lot of four letter word in this film . there be also some drug reference . i would not recommend this for child . part of tenacious d schtick be that black be in your face and and glass stay in his shadow for the most part . this be how they be in this movie and and it doesn not really work . now and this may have be part of the act and but i felt that glass just do not want to be there . in one scene and he perform his ( background ) lyric at a party and he just can not work alone . tenacious d be supposedly rock fan in real life and and have maybe two rock legend in the movie and i lose count because i be so bored with this film . personally and i would have like to have see more rock legend and icon in the film . however and we do not get that . what we do get be a movie fill with completely lame joke and lot of foul language and a lackluster script . you also get horrible acting and and an unoriginal story . however and you get some pretty good song that pretty much sound the same . the story could have be promising and but many of the scene appear to have be add into the film at the last second . this be somewhat similar to the blue brother movie many year ago and but the blue brother have a much big follow and two song on the billboard music chart . tenacious d only have a small following and with a few hbo special under their belt . and and unlike the blue brother and the comedy be not well think out at all . if you be a hard core fan of tenacious d and then i suggest you check it out . however and like most of the movie audience when this film be release to theater and i would say avoid this one . save your money on this one and folk .
