tenacious d: the pick of destiny is shit, merkley said it was hilarious and he laughed out loud a lot so i said ok good i’ll rent it, there are only six funny laugh out loud parts, and here they are:

1. when jack black is sitting on the toilet and on the other side of the stall door is the big scary rocker guy talking all scary and mysterious and then jack black loud fart shits into the john.

2. when jack black eats psychedelic mushrooms he trips and thinks he is going down a whimsical pinky red river at a leisurely pace with sasquatch on innertubes but really he is going down a dirty cold rapid alone at nite.

3. ben stiller at the music store

4. amy poehler at the diner

5. the power slide

6. when jack black is dreaming and he has the pick of destiny and they are playing for the open mic gig and he blows this guy’s mind and his head explodes and brains fly out.

there was waaaaaaaaay too much singing we get it, you sing, you are trying to establish a successful band, but do you have to sing every two minutes? i have not seen any of the hbo tenacious d episodes so i did not get any of the inside jokes or character cameos even if i had i still would have been under-whelmed for the most part. the kid who plays jack as a kid is pretty amazing though, he did all his mannerisms perfectly. maybe if i smoked some weed i would find this movie hysterical though if i was high i would most likely choose a sure-thing movie like half baked or the professional.
