A great (and funny) tribute to rock and roll

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2004)

There some good films about rock n' roll. Some are great and they are a great tribute to this, that is simply the best kind of music ever created. "School of Rock" may not be the best movie about this music style, but it's really funny. Jack Black, again, proves he's a good actor and a great singer. He plays a musician who has no money but needs some dollars to pay his bills. Suddenly, he receives a phone call where the principal of a traditional junior high school invites his roommate to be their teacher for some weeks. The musician sees in it the chance to get some money, so he uses his friend's name and starts working with a group of kids. Since singing and playing are the only things he knows, he decides to teach rock n' roll to the kids.
All long the film we listen to great songs by bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and many others. We also see some videos by these gods of rock. Jack Black's character also talks about some successful rock n roll CDs by Rush, Pink Floyd and some others.
This movie is a great gift for all those who like rock n roll.
My rate 8/10
