The School is rockin' on!

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2007)

"The School of Rock" is a fun and lighthearted movie. Even it's rated PG, it could may be suitable for kids, cause it's not the worst film a child could watch (parents who are reading this, please don't kill me, he he).
The story is simple and predictable, but it's still working. But there are some few problems; the movie is starting too fast and when it finally have really starting the plot (or saying, when Jack are starting the rock group with the children), the story slows down quite for a long time during the movie.
Jack Black acts well as the eccentric rock vocalist, but he doesn't show a big range of emotions on his act. Joan Cusack is very stiff as the principal Mullins and Mike White as Ned Schneebly is just embarrassing.
But those things aren't ruining the movie at all. The children actors does a great job without stealing the entire show away. I especially liked the character of Summer, who were funny and charming (SPOILER: to quote her: "I've searched groupies on the Internet; They're sluts who sleeps with the band!" SPOILERS OVER). I also liked the character of Patty, Ned's girlfriend, who were annoying, but also funny in her own way. The songs are enjoyable and the dialog is funny.
And besides, fortunately you don't need to be rock fan to enjoy this movie. So rock on! Hehe.
