After being kicked out of his rock band, guitarist slacker Dewey Finn faces a mountain of debts and depression. He shares an apartment with his best friend, Ned Schneebly, an old band member who is now a substitute teacher. Dewey accepts a job as a substitute teacher at a snobbish private elementary school where his attitude and hijinks have a powerful result on his students. He learns they are talented young musicians, and he decides to form a rock band with them to win the $10,000 prize money in a local band contest. Once Dewey wins a competition called "Battle of the Bands", the prize money would solve his financial problems and put him back in the rock music spotlight.
Leave your thoughts about The School of Rock.
| NewsweekDavid AnsenIt's a bravura, all-stops-out, inexhaustibly inventive performance. I don't know how much was improvised, and how much comes from White's sharp screenplay, but Black may never again get a part that displays his mad-dog comic ferocity to such brilliant effect. He, and the movie, kick ass. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiThe School of Rock's Dewey Finn ... is the role Jack Black was born to play. His volume goes up to 11 -- and Black never turns it down. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsWith its energetic, highly contagious and zany fun pitched at a thousand decibels, School of Rock combines hefty laughs with a truly sweet heart. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt sounds like the sort of sanitized product that might star Eddie Murphy (Dokken Day Care?), yet what gives the movie any semblance of an edge is Jack Black. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldYou'll think about it, weeks after seeing it, with a dopey grin on your face. (Yes, right now I have just such a grin on my face. Wanna make something of it?) |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittFirst and foremost a very funny film, and a very pleasant one that doesn't really have a villain. Credit for its hilarity goes largely to Black, who gives the performance of his career as a character who might have seemed merely coarse and crude in less gifted hands. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt gives Jack Black a role perfectly attuned to his comedic and musical gifts. |
| Talking Pictures (U.S.)Tony ToscanoAs good as Black is, the film suffers from not flushing out its minor characters... |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAll Black, all the time, and could easily have been an exhausting mess. But the movie is coherent, hilarious and surprisingly sweet. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternAn exuberant, raucous and thoroughly endearing comedy |
