The power of Jack.

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2013)

Though directed by the great Richard Linklater, Jack Black is the true heart and soul of this movie. His passion, energy and enthusiasm are so infectious that it allows the rest of the actors to loosen up and try to keep up with him. That being said, all the child actors are rather well- cast and do a good job of playing both disciplined, well-behaved and capable of rocking.
As for Linklater, a well-renowned independent director, he keeps his style to a minimum, wisely focusing on the story at hand and allowing Black to go wild in his performance. Though a lesser work for Linklater and not much in terms of repeat viewings, this is still a well-crafted film that makes for a great 100 minutes of rock and roll entertainment.
