Movie Reviews of School of Rock (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Recommended for Any Rock Music Fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this on Cartoon Network today for the first time. I loved it! It is a (very) well-written film.
An unsuccessful rocker gets fired from his own band. Soon, he poses for a job as a substitute teacher at a private school. Learning that the students are talented at playing music, he gets an idea: secretly forming a rock band with the class for the next Battle-of-the-Bands competition!
Trust me, if you love rock and roll, this film is for you!
Summary of School of Rock (Widescreen Edition)
Turbo-charged comic Jack Black shakes School of Rock to its foundations, wailing with born-again metalhead passion as Dewey Finn, a guitarist who gets kicked out of a band because he grandstands too much--or, to put it another way, enjoys himself. Through an intercepted phone call, Finn gets a job as a substitute teacher for a fifth grade class at a private grade school. Neither students nor teacher quite know what to do with each other until Finn discovers that some of his young charges can play instruments; at once he starts turning them into a blistering rock & roll troupe that can crush his former band at an upcoming competition. School of Rock is silly and formulaic, but director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused), writer Mike White (The Good Girl), and especially Black and co-star Joan Cusack invest the formulas with such glee that the movie is irresistibly fun. --Bret FetzerThe New York Times Jack black gives a roaring star-making performance his incandescent comic energy should establish him as the screen s most popular rock-fueled wild man the wall Street Journal This joyous film is a big deal and jack black is nothing less than majestic an epic star turn Entertainment weekly Jack black makes the joy the passion even the innocence of rock and roll just a little bigger than life the band rocks and so does this movie System Requirements: Running Time 109 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 097363385141 Manufacturer No: 338514
