It knows what it is: a self-aware tale of rebelling against the norms fueled by the static of Rock and Roll

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2020)

From the name of the band that brings about the most unconventionally awesome band name, members and style to the world of Rock. A long forgotten movement is revived in a movie that never takes itself too seriously. Consequences are thrown overboard to let Rock n' Roll conquer a story channelled through the kids that most need it: the snobby pressuring-parents type.
There are no genders, there's no bullying, there's no discrimination, the story itself is aware of how unlikely it is of being a real take of such a premise. It's not trying to portray the intricacies of pulling such a plot and that's why it is so uplifting and heartwarming. It plain just makes you wanna rock and roll, to wish you had such a teacher and such a class project. Damn the consequences and damn the repercussions, the most optimistic story propelled by the world of music I've ever seen.
The main role suits Jack Black perfectly up to the point of seeming as if it was tailored for him. Any genre of music could have been picked to rebel against the norms but to choose classic Rock is but the best choice as it lends for extravagant guitar, drums and voice solos that are just a delight and the perfect messenger making the audience wish the movie were even more musical than it actually is.
The people behind the movie have done such a great well-realised tale of uninspired private school kids being touched by music and they have done it so well that the story continues throughout the end credits. Best end credits of any movie ever. The movie is so fun, energetic and endearing that every kid from now to the end of time should watch and it's the best reminder of what Rock and Roll means and how it makes you feel, like an unstoppable force against anything life throws at you. This review is not objective, I did not care for narrative structure, cinematography or child performance, I simply watched the movie and Rock n' rolled hard!
