This Rocks!

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2004)

Saw this film in London yesterday and what's interesting, is how the kids' attention in the theatre was held for nearly 2 hours. No doubt this credit goes to Linklater & Black, who wasn't restricted in his performance, unlike so many other comics who've sold out since (remember when Steve Martin & Eddie Murphy made FUNNY movies?) It reminded me of DEAD POETS SOCIETY but 50 times funnier & without the Robin Williams sugar-coating that affected all his later efforts. Jack Black, I worship you.
This film offered a good story & message (something Hollywood's obviously forgotten to do since the 70s/80s), a great soundtrack & a few home truths about what really makes music special. Oh, and a fab ensemble cast with genuinely talented kid actors.
A message to Jack: Keep making movies like this man and keep on being you.
