Ben Stiller / Jack Black

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2005)

Welcome Mr.Black! Before, Jack Black was just an amazing actor who could play just about any wild or crazy role that was offered to him. Although his character in School of Rock is nutty, Blackn does a great job leading a cast and starring in a comedy. More than that, this is a family film. Many "wild" actors can make a good living doing a small / supporting role, but to make that jump into family entertainment, very few can do. Joan Cusack gives another good performance even though Jack Black is in most of the movie. The kids in the film are the other highlight. When you get a group of kids on a movie, they can make or break the movie. Here, they are surprisingly great as they add and not take away to the story. A good family comedy!
