Jack Black's homage to rock

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2003)

Most of the time I suffer through films my kids want to watch. They are often inane or superficial or just plain dull. But I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
Being myself only about 5 years older than Jack Black, I relate to his passion for good old-fashioned "rock and roll". And this film was nothing if not his homage to that music and what it stood for.

The kids are highly talented musicians and they aren't turned into superhumans or little mini-adults.
It was a great laugh -- lots of little gags that the adults can pick up on and the kids just liked seeing Jack Black's antics.
