Enjoyable, brainless and loud

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2004)

Although this was clearly a film that would be carried by Jack Black from start to finish it was'nt half as bad as I was expecting. The whole rock and roll thing ,which is his trademark, was bigged up to the extreme but I found myself enjoying the whole concept of a drunken rocker teaching some posh children to get down and rock instead of doing Maths, Latin and History. Although you might say Black was over acting, I think it needed him to be on super acting mode to keep audiences interested and laugh along to the jokes. The children were on the whole fairly good and the concert at the end was enjoyable. On the negative side some of the parts in the centre of the movie could have been cut out as they were rather drawn out and I started losing interest. On the whole an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours
