In Venice Beach, naive Midwesterner JB bonds with local slacker KG and they form the rock band Tenacious D. Setting out to become the world's greatest band is no easy feat, so they set out to steal what could be the answer to their prayers... a magical guitar pick housed in a rock-and-roll museum some 300 miles away.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously ridiculous road-movie wrapped in amplified guitar riffs and absurdist humor, where two comedians play themselves as delusional rock dreamers on a quest for a magical MacGuffin.
