School of Rock Reviews
We Got This Covered
Richard Linklater's School of Rock still remains one of Jack Black's very best performances. The director and actor work together well and manage to make a rockin' comedy that'll bring out the kid in every rock 'n' roll fan.

Top CriticRichard Linklater and Jack Black talk a lot about the imperative to rock hard, but their commentary is more Milli Vanilli than Iggy Pop.

The film is a must-see for anybody who loves rock or anybody who's a teacher...if nothing else, rent the sucker before you buy if you have any doubts. It's worth it.

School of Rock is fluffy and formulaic, but ... it all works into a feel-good comedy that goes down as smooth as an Eric Clapton solo.

Yes, it's an excellent DVD package, but most importantly: Now you can watch VH1's "Save the Music" PSA whenever you want. Rock on!
