I love rock roll

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2004)

This is an enjoyable and watchable film with a performance from Jack Black which I actually liked.
Whether or not it was because of the kids or the good music in the film which softened Black's usual obnoxious performance is left to be seen, but if you suspend belief and logic for a couple of hours then you will quite like the film as I did.
A special mention for Joan Cusack in the film as the tightly wound head mistress who is a perfect foil for Jack's more manic moments.
All in all a sweet film, which occasionally borders on sugary, and aside from the moments in which Black turns to his more ott method of acting as is his want, the film is quite entertaining. Although, I am not entirely sure I would have queued in the pouring rain to see it- it was well worth the drive to the video store.
Not quite a film which rocked but nonetheless it wasn't quite Brittany Spears terrority either.
