A Very Funny Success

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2010)

Full of energy. Charming. Jack Black plays a lovable loser who secretly takes a substitute teaching job in his roommate's name and then gets overly-ambitious dreams inspired by the student's musical abilities. It's a cute movie, with a pretty unlikely plot, but if you overlook that, you'll have a good time. It has a satisfying conclusion, albeit somewhat cheesy. It's a feel good movie though. You'll feel nice after watching it.
The acting is good by Black and Cusack, but you know how kids act. They're average, sometimes really bad, but I wasn't surprised. It's pretty rare that I'm impressed with a kid actor. :/ It's a really funny movie, I laughed out loud quite a few times. I had a really fun time watching it and I own it happily. I definitely recommend it. It's got a cute message.
