Pretty cute! Definitely made me smile and I really
appreciated the many children who had great talents
(playing for REALS in the movie)

My wife and I went to this movie because we heard from
friends that it was surprisingly good. They were right.
The school children were very well played and the story was
fun to watch in spite of its predictability. The only
negative was that in some cases where a little of Jack
Black would have sufficed, the director gave us a lot.

ya know .. orgill ... you did take an uptight view about
this show ... its a movie .... its entertainment .... its
fun ... i dont need to be a "foreshadowing" expert or a
drama student to know that this movie is to laught "at" ...
so when a slob becomes the hero .. i laught "at" it .. jack
black is a funny dude and my kids, ages 12,9 and 7 begged
me to go to this show ... i went after they had seen it
already and we're going for their third time and my
second time , and i saw lord of the rings 3 times ...
we're going for family night ... dont be afraid to take the
chitlins due to the pg13 rating ... get ya some chocolate,
sneak in some ju ju bees ... sit back and laugh ... good
old fashioned comedy that'll make you go back cause you
miss parts cause you are laughing so hard

The more I think about it the more I like it, and I loved
it in the theatre. it is easily Jack Blacks best movie.
The show is funny from start to end, even the credits are
funny. So if you like comedy go see this show

Well... ok... since I wrote my last review I went to see
this terrific movie again. I admit that I was way too
uptight and critical the first time. The School of Rock
just rocks! Jack Black is incredibly talented and so are
all the kids. Joan Cusack is a complete hoot! This film
is a big ball of fun from beginning to end! (Don't leave
until the credits are finished at the end. What fun!)

I saw this film with a theater full of teenagers, the
target audience. They absolutely loved everything about
it. They cheered. Film critics have been falling all
over each other heaping praise on it. I got a kick out of
it myself. Jack Black is a frenetic heap of talent who
owns every scene of this boisterous, gleeful, romp of a
movie. That said however, the message here is disturbing
because it leads its young audience in exactly the wrong
direction. It makes a hero of a do-nothing slob who knows
and respects nothing but rock music. Most troubling is
that, as a teacher, he belittles everything about
education. He teaches his young, impressionable students
that such subjects as math, science, history, geography
and classical music are boring, useless and stupid--that
rebellion against rules, teachers, parents and society
("stickin it to the man") is not only cool, but is the
only praiseworthy attitude. I know, I know... it's just a
movie. But children learn from movies.

Did i see the same movie as Jeff Vice?
I like Jack Black, love comedy films, prefer films that
tame down the sex and violence (and School of Rock wins on
this criteria), and can enjoy films of all types.
Unfortunately, I found this flick simply slow and lacking
any real laughs. I thought it was amusing but not really
funny. I thought Black's and Cusack's acting was fine. I
didn't see the kids "connecting" to Black. The movie was
clean and family fun but not funny.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this movie!!!!! It is THE BEST!!!!!!
Jack Black is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!! All the kids are THE
BEST EVER!!!!!!!

School of Rock is the funniest and most entertaining film I
have seen this year. It is pure unadulterated joy. It will
melt your face of with ROCK! Seriously the film speaks to
anyone who has ever felt like an outsider of any kind or
who hopes to be more than the dull clone they feel they've
become. It was engaging, hilarious, and manages to deal
witha class of precocious kids with out resorting to Olsen
Twins level cute factor (ugh!) Great fun with zero cheese
and the music well...rocks! Great for the family and for
weirdo Jack Black fans equally. ROCK!
