Amazon.com:
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 Fetzer
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - So-so rock comedy.
School of Rock starring Jack Black is a decent comedy about a slaker who poses as a teacher and ends inspiring his students about the history of rock music. The story is cool but something's missing and I can't figure out what it is? I can't stand Sarah Silverman, she's an unfunny slob while Joan Cusak knows a thing or two about comic timing. Great family flick, it's a mixed bag for me.
Rating:  - Not according to Product Details
My family and I love this move!. I bought it because according to "Product Details", the movie could be watched in English or Spanish. However, the movie only comes in English and some of my family members don't speak english. It was a let down :(
Rating:  - Great Movie!
My 2 children talked me into seeing "School of Rock". I am so glad they did. What a great movie. We need more movies like this one.
Rating: - Recommended for Any Rock Music Fans!
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!
Rating: - Rousing, feel-good film
Jack Black usually plays unlikeable characters, and he starts out here true to form. Fortunately, for us, he has a revelation and the result is no end of fun and good cheer. This low-life slacker comes to terms with his own ability to shape young minds burdened with the typical teen-angst, such as bullies, insecurity, non-understanding parents, self-esteem and the like (which he seems to naturally understand). Mr. Black is absolutely absurd in his approach, and it's the kids who inspire him to be ... Read More
