Jack Black Shoulda' Been Oscar-Nominated!

I usually only review items I've purchased at Amazon...But this movie is too cool NOT to review!(I do own the DVD...and, by the way, GREAT extra features...informative and fun!). Comedies are so profoundly overlooked by "The Academy"...and that's a shame. I'm not a huge Jack Black fan...but man, if he wasn't nominated for best actor here, he was robbed! Maybe I love this movie so much 'cause I'm a teacher (I've been a High School SUBSTITUTE-teacher, I've worked at a Montessori School, and I am now a Community College Math teacher)...and my name's Jack!...and I like all kinds of music, including ROCK & ROLL! Seriously, though, this movie is tons of fun and laugh-out-loud funny! Nobody, but nobody, could have pulled this off like Jack Black. So authentic, so spirited, and so hysterical. The rest of the cast is also great...especially the kids! And I always enjoy Joan Cusack...she's so quirky and funny in this flick.(Couldn't you see "Best Supporting Actress"?). Now, repeat after me..."I Pledge Allegiance (I Pledge Allegiance) to the BAND!".....

Very Funny!!!

I received this as a Christmas present. I've been meaning to write this review for quite some time, but I never got around to it, because I watch this movie on tv whenever it comes on. This movie is extremely hilarious, and has an awesome storyline. Jack Black stars as a rocker named Dewey Finn. When Dewey is kicked out of his band, he tries to find a job so his roommate won't kick him out. When his roommate, Ned Schneebly is called to be a substitute teacher, Dewey impersonates Ned in order to make some money. When he hears his fifth-grade class in the music class, he comes up with an idea to start a new rock band. During class, Dewey has them singing, and rocking out to try and win Battle of the Bands. I highly recommend SCHOOL OF ROCK!!!

Yes, It's Only Rock and Roll- But I Like It

What is there not to like, for an old rock `n' roll guy or gal at least, about a film with a story line about a down and out fanatic grunge rock musician who is down on his luck and then, by odd happenstance, gets a "temp" job, under false pretenses, teaching at a preppie private elementary school. And , of course, along the way it turns out the young students were really not looking to get ahead on the fast track to college but were really hiding their "inner rock" being under a bushel, that of classical music. Needless to say said rocker teacher throws out the book, gets the kids to lighten up and enjoy life a little, and maybe get a chance at rock stardom for themselves and, not coincidentally, him as well. Moreover, needless to say as well, those well-to-do parents paying large fees and authority figures responsible to those parental whims, especially one stern headmistress, do not see to see with this rock-driven program. But all is well in the end as kids and rocker survive one more obstacle in the ordeal of childhood. The only thing that I need to add here is that actor, Jack Black, carries this thing with his energy, his facial expressions and his non-loser "loser" approach to the role. That said, just rock on.

Very funny, but disturbing to see kids using language

I wanted to give this more stars. I think the character Dewey perfectly sums up in a delightfully honest, humorous way, the failed educational philosophy of John Dewey (Hey! Teacha! Leave those kids alone...)

But you're not watching this for the philosophy. You're watching it for the humor, and possibly for Jack Black. You will get some good doses of that, although probably nothing will rival Nacho Libre.

The reason I can't give it more stars is, it's terribly disturbing to see young children using language and dressing in skimpy clothes. I wouldn't let a child do something that.

It's reasonably funny, and I love Joan Cusack's acting. Jack Black did a fine job although, like I said, he can probably never rival himself as he was in Nacho Libre if you're a Jack Black fan. But he's also done much worse in his mockery of Jesus. Greatly dampens my enthusiasm for future projects. A pity.
