A lot better than I expected

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2004)

When School Of Rock came out in the cinemas I had no intention whatsoever of seeing it, and I didn't. Although on a 6 hour plane trip it was one of the inflight movies, and I was only just curious enough to choose to watch it rather than falling asleep. I'll say right now that it's not one of my all time favourites, not by a long shot in fact, but it's solid and strangely entertaining.
I have great respect for this movie, not because it's a good movie, but it was designed to make big money at the smallest cost, it was very well marketed (in Australia at least), and the film appeals to a wide range of audiences. The producers would've had a field day at the box office, the icing on the cake is that the films OK too. 6/10 to the writers/directors, 10/10 to the producers.
