WHS Stationary ~ Shop Online at WHS Online Stationary Store - School Of Rock School of Rock is a melodious feel-good comedy which sees Jack Black play a frustrated rocker ‘front man’ who gives rock a reason and a rhyme by teaching a motley class of children how to "stick it to the man" with the power of music. Black plays unemployed slob and hell raising guitarist Dewy Finn who needs to make a few fast bucks after being kicked out of his rock band. Posing as his reformed rocker-come substitute teacher flatmate he falls into teaching a class of prepubescent stiffs. After over hearing the kids practice in their school orchestra Finn decides to teach the kids “the power of rock” and fulfil his life long dream of entering the Battle of the Bands competition. Black’s performance is a comic tornado of extreme hair and sweaty rock flip-outs that displays his unique style of hyperactive humour perfectly. Richard Linklater’s (Dazed & Confused Waking Life) direction does not try to curb Black’s performance but simply allows the interaction with the young music pupils to amplify the full range of his comedy skills; and to great effect. The movie has a superb soundtrack including Led Zepplin AC/DC and The Who which Black uses to enthuse his pupils with the same love for rock that he has. The obvious affection for the music of the genre held by both director and star and the genuine enthusiasm the entire film has for its subject-matter creates a sparkling comedy that is refreshing and highly addictive. This energetic film will have everyone singing from the same hymn sheet – kids families and of course hardened Jack Black fans will all love the vivacious madness Black undoubtedly brings to this movie.
