Tenacious D in 'The Pick of Destiny' Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the film is essentially an in-joke

  by David Mercier [FilmJudge ]

• Lynch doesn't appear to see the film medium as anything more than a means by which to showcase his stars

  by Wesley Morris [Boston Globe ]

• loopy, cheerfully lowbrow comedy

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• litters enough laughs in its wake to do more than just blow smoke

  by Brian Lowry [Variety ]

• isn't as fresh or weird as the short films that made Tenacious D cult heroes

  by John DeFore [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• feels giddy and eruptive

  Review rate : B- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• a tenacious "dud" for way too much of its 97 minute running time

  by Tim Knight [Reel ]

• a smug inside joke that isn't funny or clever enough to sustain a feature film
