Clap Your Hands as You're Watching The Ending

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2005)

I'm always fond of watching yet another movie where Jack Black gets the chance to make a fool out of himself, but "The School of Rock" really blew me away.
I think I kept laughing over 80% of the movie and none of the funny scenes were corny in any way.
This must be the best suited film for Jack Black so far and it's obvious he had a great time playing his part and trying to do it the best way he could.
I was so eager for the next goofy scene where he delights you with rock trivia applied to ten year-old pupils, that I stopped thinking about the fact that's really impossible to teach kids rock and roll inside a school.
There is only one scene where the children hide their instruments and the "teacher" mimics a class, but it doesn't really matter since the movie succeeds in making you desire that the children's rock band gets to play their music in a concert.
The ending of the movie, when the band practices in Dewey's room during the credits, it's so nicely shot that I simply found myself clapping silly while listening to the rock impromptu.
