Jack Black's finest work by far

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2010)

By far my favorite Jack Black movie! And no i am not just seeing this now quite frankly its like the 500th time i have seen it.However only noticed today that no review was attached by moi...so lets remedy that shall we? I have seen pretty much every project that has had Jack Black's moniker on it and i still haven't seen anything as good as the performance he gives within this film. Dewey Finn (Black) is an aging rocker who gives it all behind the mic! After being told that he is fired from his band and that he needs to come up with rent money pronto or no home as well. He intercepts a phone call originally for his roommate (a substitute teacher) and after learning that a nearby private school requires a teacher to fill in for a couple of weeks he pretends to be his roommate and accepts the job. Before you know it he is teaching the students how to be free and shake the image of strictness,let their hair down and just play some metal! He turns the class into a band themselves finally giving him his spotlight thats he has always desired. the one thing of many that this movie made me want to do was look into an obviously talented musician that i didn't know until viewing this film that Jack Black is, which in turn led me into becoming a fan of Blacks own comedy type band with his lifelong friend Kyle Gass and that is Tenacious D. These are the movies i think should be really looked at as hidden gems. Not only for the family but for the hidden rock star in us all!
