This is a great film by Jack Black. It starts with his band throwing him out because of the latest of many riotous guitar solos, and to make some money, he takes a job as a school teacher under the name of his friend Ned.
This allows him to start over to try and get the kids into rock music and then go for the battle of the bands. Whilst getting use to the school, he finds that they can play music and then has the idea of getting them to rock.
With this idea in his head, he then starts his own teaching style to rock, from the history of Led Zeppelin to present. With this, the homework that he gives out is to listen to CD that corresponds to each person.
With this winning collection of people, they make it to the final play, and they play there new song whilst back at the school they have just found out that their children are missing.
After the contest and Jacks band not winning, but get to play again, the band sticks together and has a rock school where they practice and teach younger children to rock.
The kids make the film besides Jack going crazy. The quotes that they come out with are excellent, as I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through. Since getting the film, I have watched it 10 times and still find it funny.
The script was great, as I don't think that they could have made it any better and if they changed it in a major way, I don't think that they would have got a great film.
The features on the DVD are as normal, interviews with the kids and Jack, commentaries from Jack, the director and the kids. Lessons in school of rock, music video and the kids diary.
It also includes MTV’s diary of Jack, and in my opinion fantastic and a trailer as normal. The extras I would have expected buy then I would have thought there may have been a few more, but then you can't win them all.
I would highly recommend this film as it is one of the best yet.
