SCHOOL OF ROCK (PG) 1.15

(US 2003) dir.Richard Linklater 109m.
Jack Black, Mike White, Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman.

“As teacher training films go, SCHOOL OF ROCK is different. It’s not just that our hero, Jack Black’s quack supply teacher, is to all purposes a headbanging jackass who can’t even spell his claimed name (Schneebly). What makes his encounter with a class of prep-school fifth graders the greatest breakthrough in pedagogy since Bill and Ted met Socrates is his discovery that even square kids might yet be saved by a swift baptism in the rejuvenating fount of Rock. A cathartic class comedy for kids of all sizes...”
