Goey Rating: DM (Decent Movie)

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2005)

What a movie. This unique film is about one guy who teaches kids in a very unorthodox way. Jack Black fakes being a substitute teacher in a private school using music to reach and tech these kids. As crazy as it sounds it also works on the kid's parents. While Joan Cusack who is the principal in the school is tricked by Jack Black into thinking he is teaching the students other accepted subjects.
I was impressed with this story as it seemed pointless until almost the end when all of the pieces of this odd puzzle start falling into place. Jack Black plays on over the top aging rocker who is trying to prove he still has the stuff to rock hard. In fact it's the kids that make the movie.
