this was my kind of movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2008)

This is the type of movie that shows how the right combinations of formulas can work. Jack Black is a musician who has just been fired by his band and desperately needs money to help pay the rent. When he gets a phone call for his roommate regarding a teaching job, he decides to impersonate him (along the lines of Tootsie and Soul Man) and turns his class into a rock band. The reason:to enter a battle of the bands contest and win the money. Everything clicks in the hilarious comedy, especially the great cast. Jack Black is perfect in his role, which seems to be tailor-made for him. I liked everything about this film and you will too.
