{ school of rock }

not much to say here except that this movie was great... i laughed so hard throughout the entire movie that my side ached for two days afterward.... jack black is almost always funny, no matter what he's doing, but school of rock takes the cake...

dewey's (jack black) life is music, he doesn't work because he believes that one day his glam rock band will hit it big... but the band kicks him out... in order to score some cash to pay his rent, dewey pretends to be his roommate, a substitute teacher...

he winds up teaching at a private school where the kids are classically trained musicians... a big battle of the bands contest is coming up and the grand prize is $20,000... dewey figures he can form a band out of his 5th grade class and win the prize....

guess that's about all you need to know.... just go see it... 'ight?? Contributed by: Stacy Broce

I walked over to see "School of Rock" the other day. It was really funny. Probably has one of the best soundtracks ever if you are a soundtrack person. Jack was even listening to "Ballrooms of Mars" by T.Rex in one scene. I liked seeing Mike White involved, as he was tops in the extra-uncomfortable/funny "Chuck and Buck".

I thought it was gonna be all kid friendly (it was) and crappy (it wasn't), because of silly critics. It was fun for the whole damn nuclear family! I thought it was up there with Old School, and that's saying a lot, hombre.
