Black Rocks. Hard

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2005)

Jack Black vehicle sees the great man munch his way through scenery, characters and all before him.
A one-man show, this is such an uplifting film. No great surprises or huge twists, the story plays out that Black sees an opportunity to earn some money by pretending to be his house mate, he becomes a substitute teacher, and all hell breaks loose as he teaches the kids all about rock n' roll.
A good history lesson for all those watching, it probably had older audience members wistfully remembering about "back in the day", its great to see true rock get appreciation in movies.
Mike White's script is enough, and he passes okay as Black's friend, but it's Black and his performance which makes the thing so damn enjoyable, really, if you need something to cheer you up or put a smile on your face, stick this on, it rocks.
