 SCHOOL
OF ROCK. DVD. 109 minutes.
PG-13. Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is a wanna be rock star who just got his
can thrown out of his own band. Needing money to pay the rent, Dewey
decides to teach at a private elementary school posing as his roommate,
who’s a substitute teacher. Upon
his arrival, Dewey soon learns that he has no idea how to teach the
curriculum and that the kids have a lot more book smarts than he does.
Desperately wanting to win a local Battle of The Bands competition, Dewey
enlists the services of his students and teaches them how use their
various talents… in the name of rock-n-roll.
School
of Rock is flat out hilarious fun that will entertain you for 109 minutes.
Although I loved Jack Black in High Fidelity, this is by far his best
performance to date. He was made to play Dewey Finn. The rock music Dewey
teaches the kids is of the old school variety; Black Sabbath, Led
Zeppelin, The Who, etc. Extras include commentary by Black, director
Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Suburbia, Slacker), and the kids,
music video, kids video diary, Black’s plea to Zeppelin seeking
permission to use The Immigrant Song, etc. Look, I’m not going to go on
and on over this movie because my opinion is clear. I loved it and think
you should check out, soon. – Denis Sheehan
