my personal review.

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2008)

Are you feeling down about the world? The man getting you down? Then this may just be the movie that saves your day. This feel good, rock n roll, laugh out loud hit never fails to brighten my day. Having watched it over 20 times i consider myself an expert. so heed my advice. this is my advice. you ready? WATCH IT. THEN WATCH IT AGAIN. Still great isn't it. Dewey Finn (Ned Schneebly,(jack black)), a deadbeat, unemployed failed musician holds dreams of crowd surfing at Woodstock. but first he needs a kick ass band. He has his band, but there's a spanner in the works when i rift in the band means that Ned gets the boot. Then a ray of light comes in the form of a simple phone call from the principle of Horace green. He snaps up the opportunity for some cash and takes his flatmates job, name and credentials. originally he took the job to pay the rent, a predominant theme in this film, but he is hit with an idea when he visits the urinal. He hears a sound. The sound of music, to be precise. he discovers his class of kids absolutely breaking the barriers of ten year old musical talent. could these kids be his band. With a little teaching from the right teacher and these kids could make it big. Step up MR.S! he teaches the secrets of rock, he finds his bass, lead, drums, keyboard and backup. Of course MR.S will be singing lead vocals and shredding guitar. The kids are inspired and fight for there right to party. they get through there audition for battle of the bands, albeit by the skin of their teeth. Once again Dewey's dreams are destroyed by the MAN. its over. surely. OH NO. these kids have a will, and where there's a will there's a way. battle of the bands had better prepare for a lesson in rock. And boy do they give them a schooling! baby they made straight A's. i wont give the ending away just in case you haven't viewed it, (which you should. so if your sat at home wandering what do do tonight. you've found your answer. learn a lesson in rocking out. get taught by the greatest. remember this one thing if you forget the rest. ONE GREAT ROCK SHOW CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. take heed from the master that is jack black, but even more so learn from the kids. watch this film plenty know this film back to front. you'll be a better person for it. i'll see you cats on the flip flop laaaateeerrr.
