Entertaining but a bit overrated

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2017)

'The School of Rock' is an entertaining, feel-good movie containing the inevitable mix of clichés, over-the-top characters and a very cheesy storyline. Jack Black is in his element in this role, so much so that it feels like the whole film has been built around him. He shines, as you would expect, with his character delivering virtually all the jokes in the film.
It's a great feel-good movie, but other than that, 'The School of Rock' doesn't have much else to offer. It's a good choice if you're in the mood for something cheerful and uplifting, but personally I couldn't sit through this film over and over again like some people. Overrated is the word that comes to mind.
