School of Rock
How funny was this movie? I went in with "above average" expectations. I figured that with rock music and comedy, it couldn't be all bad, but the truth is, I don't think I've laughed out loud so hard or cringed so much in a movie cinema for months! Classic moments:
- the failed crowd surf
- anytime Jack Black picked up a guitar and sang
- Jack Black (aka Dewey Finn) opening the back of his van to reveal row after row of guitars, amps and other gear
- spotting mini-Gavin, lighting technician extraordinaire
- the surveillance system to monitor approaching teachers to the "music room"
- Tameke - Aretha Franklin in the making. Damn, that girl can sing! And I do mean girl in the 10 year old sense, not the Marcia Hines sense.
- the terminal illness trick used to get into the Battle of the Bands
- the Battle of the Bands!
- the gyrating guitarist, and the ensuing attempted pick-up of the school principal. Altogether now - EWWWW!
- the school principal. Joan Cusack was brilliant
- the credits. You have to stay for the credits.
