    it was a very good movie. and yea i agree, the fact that Jack Black was able to tune down his many obsenities for a childrens movie (or pg-13) and Katie (A.K.A the bass guitar) is hot.

    Awesome movie with awesome music!!!! Caitlin Hale is really cute and has a good voice. Too bad, she don't want to proceed as an actress or singer. Joey GAYdos sucks!!! He think he's best guitar player of the world. I listed to a few songs of him and I have to say: they're sounding all the same. He's totally overrated.

    This is just plain an all-around great movie. JB is freakin hilarious and he interacts well with the kids. Even if you didn't like Jack Black before (and why wouldn't you, you loser!) you will love him after seeing this movie--he's awesome!!

    In the theater I was in, everyone was laughing, all the time. Everyone enjoyed this movie for its simplicity and pure comedy (not the lack of a realistic plot...c'mon). It is simply a truly funny movie.

    Jack Black "get back" as you finally strutted your overall talent. Jack is tremdous as Dewey in working with this very talented group of kids. It is a feel good movie that delivers as promised. Definitely worth seeing.

    Oh my, there aren't enough words when it comes down to the hilarious antics of the wonderful Jack Black. His charming endeering character explodes the theatre into laughs and giggles that ever so warmed my heart. This movie is a must see for the thrill seeker of adventure and child memories.

    THIS MOVIE WAS INCREDIBLE! I went with my aunt, uncle, and my father and we couldn't stop laughing! Jack Black was perfect. His facial expressions were top notch, his walk was kooky but hilaroius, how could you ask for anything else? I am a drummer and I thought it was incredibly cool the way a 5th grader was playing the drums! This movie never left me bored and went beyond my expectations. All hail Jack Black and his rockin 5th graders! Expand

    Damn. This movie kicked some ass. I waited a while to see this; by the time I did most of my friends had seen it and told me how cool it was. I didn't expect it to be as cool as my friends said it was going to be. How wrong I was. It was better then they said it was. This is possibly the best movie on the topic of rock n' roll I've ever seen. It portrays the true spirit of rock. Movies like Rock Star just show the "show biz" aspects. School of Rock just rocks. Perhaps too much of the comedy was based on Jack Black's mannerisms which got a little old towards the end. But there was enough solid humor throughout the movie to cover up for that. Expand

    A very pleasing movie which I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish and even through the whole credits, as did the rest of the theatre. No one got up until the screen went black.

    Mark S. gave it a 9: All hail Jack Black. I only thought of him as a funny guy, like a hundred other funny guys.. He has his own band tenaious d too, he's not like every other funny guy..

    Great fun. One of the best comedies this year. Jack Black has a blast, taking us all for an enormously fun ride. Joan holds her own, as always, and the kids are fantastic. I just wish they'd done this as a full-blown musical. (I'm sure the stage show is not far away.)

  1. The School of Rock was made by gifted veterans of the American indie scene, but it's still the most unlikely great movie of the year.
  2. 90
    School of Rock kicks ass. It's one movie that definitely goes to eleven.
  3. The film hits another comic mother lode in the byplay between Black and Cusack.
