What a fun film.

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2004)

Basic story: Dewey-Jack Black is in desperate need of cash so when his substitute teacher friend is offered some work at a prestigious school, he pretends to be him to get some money. Unsurprisingly he has no idea of what to do with the children, used to a top class education. On day two as their teacher he makes up a project to do with them called, ROCK BAND! This is where the fun begins as we see them learning rocking Music all day. He has them convinced it is a top project when really he wants to win Â£20,000 at battle of the bands. They perform a rockin' show at battle of the bands thus earning the respect of the audience and their stuffy parents who were insisting on a classical music upbringing. I liked this film very much, enjoying watching the children's progress as he helps them rock out, and earns their respect. I thought the children made better rockers than classical players especially when dressed and styled by that boy with the suspiciously high voice. The character Tamika had an amazing voice, just made for soulful singing. Basically, what a film. A must see for any rock fans, featuring classic rock tunes and rockin' kids. See it now!
