School of Rock
Fired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll. The school's hard-nosed principal is rightly suspicious of Finn's activities. But Finn's roommate remains in the dark about what he's doing.

You won't be disappointed!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
This movie is seriously so fun, so charming, and has a great message about kids and education. It stars actual normal-looking people Jack Black and Joan Cusack. Mike White and Richard Linklater make a kids comedy? Come on, it rocks.
After being kicked out of a rock band, Dewey Finn becomes a substitute teacher of a strict elementary private school, only to try and turn it into a rock band. The School of Rock is without a doubt one of my favorite Jack Black films, his performance is fun and smooth as the wind he is hilarious but also dramatic when he wants to. The kids also do an amazing job as well with their talent both on deliver their lines but also play some Rock N'Roll and let me say the soundtrack of the film is terrific you hear so many great new and old songs from the Past and the Present but also some original ones such as the one that the whole Band sing. Joan Cusack gives an excellent and funny performance as the Principal of the School too. This is without a doubt Richard Linklater's Best Film and i just wonder why they never made a 2nd one? But then again sequels fail to deliver most of the time and having just this one? Is better than not having it. (A+)
School of Rock is actually beyond a classic.I endured Disney and to a lesser extent Pixar until this baby appeared.Jack Black. Thank you for saving every Dad in the world from bad kid movie sheet.It's nothing short of awesome.Loud.Proud.Rock and roll.By 10 year olds.And Jack Black at his peak.Just watch it man.
I love School of Rock. This movie is very funny. Mike White wrote a great script with hilarious and memorable jokes. Jack Black perfectly delivers many amusing jokes. He is supported by many other strong acting performances by Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman, and Mike White. Even the children have decent performances as the students. Richard Linklater, one of my favorite directors, does a marvelous job of directing the kids. Also, the music in this movie is great. Many great songs were on the soundtrack, including: "Sunshine Of Your Love," "Immigrant Song," "Back In Black," and way too many more to name. This movie could've been bad in many ways: Jack Black acting stupid, lackluster acting, bad/child jokes, etc., but none of these things happened at all!This movie is one of my favorites. If you are debating whether you should watch it or not, WATCH IT!! It is, in my opinion, the most underrated film of all time, and everyone should watch this movie.
