Suspension of disbelief a must

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2005)

As someone who will soon be an elementary school teacher, there were parts of this movie that really tested the boundaries of my ability to suspend my disbelief enough to sympathize with Jack Black's Dewey. Many times I thought he deserved to be locked up, but of course it's a comedy, so in the end he wins over the hearts of the stereotypical hard-ass parents and generally applauded as a great guy, despite breaking nearly every regulation in the book and more than a couple laws.
With all that said, in the end it was a fun movie. It was enjoyable, if a little mind boggling at times. The music was enjoyable, and there were quite a few laughs.
