ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Works just like a Tenacious D song. The movie feels giddy and eruptive, dopily enthralled with itself, and more or less made up on the spot.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Baked and half-baked, Tenacious D does manage to give the term potty humor a new meaning. That's some kind of genius, right?Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
The movie is spotty. The short films, essentially comic sketches, were more consistently funny. The movie lags on occasion, but it also has quite a few laughs.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
As a movie, it’s a mess — and lazy, too.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
As it wobbles from one episode to the next, The Pick of Destiny is a garish mess, and some of it feels padded. But it has enough jokes to keep you smiling, and the spirit Mr. Black brings to it is a fervent (and touching) affection for the music he spoofs but obviously adores.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
Jack Black and Kyle Gass bring characters they created for the HBO program "Mr. Show With Bob and David" to the big screen with mixed success, depending on the age, gender and degree of inebriation of the filmgoer.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Robert Wilonsky
Tenacious D is utterly harmless and totally pointless. Black and Gass have been at this so long their dirty little joke has all the punch of a Catskills routine.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
In the end, you have to possess a sweet spot for Black and his antics to find Tenacious D more than barely watchable.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kevin Crust
Not only screams out to be a midnight movie, but one in need of, shall we say, an herbal supplement, and we aren't talking ginkgo biloba.Read Full Review »
