School of Rock rocks! I first saw the movie in class and I was instantly hooked. I was even surprised to know that my parents had already watched it. The movie mostly benefits from Jack Black’s signature brand of manic man humor. It’s probably Jack Black’s most career defining role as well. For those who don’t know, School of Rock is about a deadbeat rock star who pretends to be a substitute teacher in order to make some extra money. He later learns that the stuffy kids actually have musical talent. So he teaches them how to rock. That’s when Jack Black really shines. It’s a really fun movie with lots of catchy songs. Even those who don’t like rock music will love it.
