Jack Black ain't back

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2008)

it must be difficult to envisage an aging ex rocker that doesn't mirror the character that is jack black in school of rock, but if you were intending to make a new movie that had a lead character who was in a similar situation and head space to Jack Black's character surely you'd go way out of your way to make SURE you didn't do anything that vaguely resembled Mr Black. That hasn't happened here unfortunately so one must assume that making an original movie was not high on the list of priorities for these guys. Its not a bad movie at all but it's hard to watch it without being reminded of Jack Black doing similar things in his movies, and better too.
