Movie Review: School of Rock

My family often goes to the Cineplex Family Favourites on Saturday mornings, and we recently went to see School of Rock. The movie came out the year I was born, and amazingly, I'd never seen it before. It was awesome!

The movie starts off with Dewey (Jack Black) getting kicked out of his own band. He doesn't have money to pay rent, and things are going terrible for him. His roommate is a substitute teacher who isn't home one day when a call comes in. Dewey decides to pretend he's Mr. Schneebly and goes to teach at a school. 

He finds out that his students are great musicians, but they play classical music, not rock. He decides to teach them all about rock.

He realizes that the kids could help form a band for Battle of the Bands. He convinces them that this is going to be a school project:

 Everyone in the class ended up having a role:

• Some people played music:

• Some people sang backup:

• Some people were roadies and worked on the technical parts of the performance, like lighting and smoke effects:

• Some people worked on security and surveillance. Their job was to keep an eye out for the principal and to make sure that no one knew what they were up to in the classroom:

• And Summer was the band's manager:

While I was watching this movie, I was thinking that I would love to be in this class. I love music, and this would be so much fun. Luckily, in real life, I have an awesome music teacher at my school. I love how much fun they got to have while they were learning, and not everybody was doing the same thing.

Check out the movie trailer:

If you haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you watch it. If you have seen the movie, I think you should watch it again. Has anyone out there seen School of Rock? What did you think of the movie? Leave a comment.

By the way, I also discovered that they had a 10-year reunion this summer:
