Amazon.co.uk Review
Turbo-charged comic Jack Black shakes School of Rock to its foundations, wailing with born-again metalhead passion as Dewey Finn, a guitarist who gets kicked out of a band because he grandstands too much--or, to put it another way, enjoys himself. Through an intercepted phone call, Finn gets a job as a substitute teacher for a fifth grade class at a private grade school. Neither students nor teacher quite know what to do with each other until Finn discovers that some of his young charges can play instruments; at once he starts turning them into a blistering rock & roll troupe that can crush his former band at an upcoming competition. School of Rock is silly and formulaic, but director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused), writer Mike White (The Good Girl), and especially Black and co-star Joan Cusack invest the formulas with such glee that the movie is irresistibly fun. --Bret Fetzer

On the DVD: Like the movie, the DVD extras are smarter and a lot more entertaining than your average flick. The making-of feature ("Lessons Learned") has the usual behind-the-scenes banter but Jack Black is in fine form--that is, something special--interviewing as much as being interviewed about the making of the film. His unique pitch to Led Zeppelin to use their song is alone worth the price of the DVD. Black is more his maniacal self and a bit more grating in MTV's Diary segment, but his commentary track with director Richard Linklater is as insightful as it is funny. Ok, it's a lot more funny, but entertaining throughout. The commentary track featuring just the kid actors is less so, but any preteen would love listening to it. To top it off, the DVD-ROM has Dewey Finn's instantly famous blackboard history of rock. You can drill down to the bands mentioned and get a brief history of each. --Doug Thomas

DVD Description
Jack Black plays unemployed slob and hell-raising guitarist Dewey Finn, who needs to make a few fast bucks after being kicked out of his rock band. Posing as his reformed rocker-come-substitute teacher flatmate, he falls into teaching a class of prepubescent stiffs. After over hearing the kids practice in their school orchestra, Finn decides to teach the kids "the power of rock", and fulfil his life long dream of entering the Battle of the Bands competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music, Comic and............. getting ticked off, 22 Aug 2004
By D. Reynolds (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This film rocks, i mean it actually rocks. Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is a lazy, rock insaniest but the people arnt insane about him. He's mental when it comes to rock and goes a bit over the top. His roomate Ned Schneebly is a substitute teacher at elementary schools. Dewey is in need of money to pay his rent and when Miss Mullins (Joan Custack), the principle of Horace Green elementary school phones their apartment looking for Ned, Dewey hear's that the pay is $650 each week and then pretends that he is Ned. He starts at the school and he discovers that the students can play music extremely well. He makes the class into a rock band so they can participate in 'Battle of the Bands' to compete for 20,000 dollars which Dewey is desperate for. Will Dewey and the children win? This is a good comedy and a good film to watch and listen too. I highly recommend this to you.............Get this!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of life's guilty pleasures!, 14 Dec 2006
By jdennis_99 (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
There's some things in life that you know you shouldn't like, and it goes against all good sense to like. Things like 'Meat Loaf' albums, and the 'Sister Act' and 'Ghostbusters' films, and the old 'Transformers' TV series. 'School of Rock' slides into this category effortlessly.

Jack Black plays a disenchanted musician who gets kicked out of his band for being a little too stage-greedy, and uses his friend's name to get himself a job as a substitute teacher for the fifth grade in a private prep school. When he learns that the kids have some musical ability, he forms a band with them, and takes them to the Battle of the Bands competition.

The storyline is far from serious, or realistic, but it never pretends to be anything it's not. Black is actually quite convincing as Dewey Finn, and some of his speeches are hysterical. Highlights include:

'I pledge allegiance... to the band... of Mr Schneebly... I will not fight him... for creative control...'

The terrible disease the children suffer from: 'stick-it-to-da-Man-niosis'!

Superb film - I was laughing all the way through!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have Film!, 13 Jul 2004
I will not bore you with a long description of the storyline; basically unemployed Dewey Finn (Jack Black), pretends to be a teacher when he really is a rocker! Fantastically funny film, constant jokes throughout and not forgetting a great soundtrack. Brilliant performances from all actors, but Black steals the show with his constant energy and enthusiasm. A film you can watch again and again and pick up new jokes each time!
