Great fun

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2004)

I approached this movie with little expectancy of quality, I was wrong. This is a great movie, the best comedy in the past few years. It's about an aging rock star wanabee, called Dewey Finn, fired by his band he is left poor and jobless. A golden opportunity approaches, a job as a substitute teacher at a rich kids school. He makes his class into a rock band and the rest is classic.
The cast is absolutely perfect, the kids are great and are some of the most talented kid actors I've ever seen. However, the stand-out performer is Jack Black (as Dewey Finn), this man is the top comedy actor in the U.S at the moment. His performance is energy packed, and that energy spreads through the audience in the form of laughter.
This may not be an award winner, this is down to the fact that it doesn't take its self seriously, this is to the films credit though. Adults and kids are catered for in this buffet of laughs, I'd recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor.
