If you like rock n roll and movies with kids, you're gonna love this one.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2004)

The storyline is far from original. There are a thousand movies with the same kind of plot (guy wants to do something, doesn't get it done, gets fired, money trouble, has an idea, lies to everybody and everything, gets the thing he wants done, gets caught, but does his trick in the end, and everybody is happy). That's as far as the negative comments go. Besides the somewhat predictable storyline, the movie is great. I really enjoyed all the classic artists and music being pumped into it. It is like a rock n roll hall of fame. And the best part of this movie is (a real jaw dropper): THE KIDS ACTUALLY PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS!!!!! It is not fake, and you know what? THEY ROCK. And Jack Black? He is funny, crazy, good performer, good actor, and yeah, he is playing the SG. So if you like kids, if you like the 'old school' rock n roll, then you HAVE to see this one.
