Great for pre-teen and teen audiences, fun for adults

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2003)

The School of Rock features a lot of great rock music and an energetic and at times over-the-top performance by Jack Black.
Younger audiences ought to really enjoy the way the group of proper children rebel against the overbearing academic curriculm and learn to embrace some of the rock 'n roll spirit.
Adults will most likely enjoy the hard rocking soundtrack and the way the movie exposes their children to the music they grew up on.
There are some awfully funny scenes, some utter ridiculousness, and some great songs. As a college student this movie is definitely not geared toward my demographic, but I founded it suprisingly endearing.
7 out of 10
