Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is a passionate rock musician who is fired from his band, and to raise money poses as his roommate, accepting a temporary teaching job at a prestigious elementary school. Finn certainly is not qualified to teach and students begin to suspect fraud, but in a fit of inspiration, he decides to create a rock group with children, to participate in a band contest where you could win a juicy prize. Children are to be good musicians, and inspired by Finn discover the rebellion and exultation of freedom that form the true spirit of rock. I know many people that criticism by saying that only Black can play a role: himself. And maybe they are right, is known to overreact a lot in films where he is involved, but I think that's enough to make it one of the greatest comic talents of today. Like Jim Carrey, Jack Black comedy that plays not so much based on the jokes that provides the script, but in how you run them, incorporating them into his eccentric personality and physical presence. Now, with all those caveats out of the way, I can say that "School of Rock" is the best film in which Black has been involved, and, moreover, was one of the funniest comedies has been seen in 2003 .

In the hands of less skilled creative team, this simple story might have been an intolerable and cheesy movie musical explodes fashion fever. But in the hands of a director and writer known for his work in independent film, has proved a very funny and entertaining film that both pays tribute to the musical legacy of past decades and inspiring new generations to reject As multinational companies want to sell them as music. The director Richard Linklater received some criticism when he decided to "School of Rock." Previous works (such as "Slacker ," "Waking Life " and the extraordinary " Before Sunrise") had risen to the status of independent genius, and agreeing to do a family comedy for one of major studios (Paramount) meant for many that Linklater was betraying its roots. The same could be said of the great writer Mike White, who with "Chuck and Buck", "Orange County" and "The Good Girl" gave a sensitivity intelligent but accessible creating characters both unique and familiar, with which the audience can identify. However, these accusations are baseless stereotyping. "School of Rock" is certainly an amiable family comedy, but is distinguished by a subtle subversive streak that will fall well to children and adults tired of condescending film production usually occurs for this market.

In fact, one can say that "School of Rock" is a film some thug who develops his argument with a more typical comedy "The Simpsons" than the saga of "Home Alone." Their creators go straight to the chase and not waste time on useless presentations so after ten minutes of footage and we are the protagonist in full fatigues and ready to carry out their plans: to indoctrinate a number of children of a school for upper class people in what is his true passion, that is , rock. Of course, this film requires a certain complicity with the audience, and certainly will enjoy it much more those who have some passion for this music. However, the rest of us, including myself included, find in "School of Rock" a wholesome entertainment which also features a sly critique of certain overly formalistic models of education and tend to despise and humiliate the student if it do not get good grades, instead of trying to get support to take forward this subject in which no notes. In this sense it is quite well reflected how Dewey Finn is winning the confidence of the class, knowing to do the personality and skills of each of its members and thus creating a security nature that many did not have before (in the case a girl who is shy at first to participate in the "project" of his mad professor).

Moreover, mischievous, defiant tone of the tape makes it even more fresh and innovative, even when the skirt fabric frequently ideological conventions identity, self esteem and friendship. But there's no denying that Jack Black is the motor spinning and twirling to the beat of rock band. A present rock songs by legendary consolidated groups (you can listen to The Clash, Metallica, Kiss, Cream, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Doors, etc.) And those made by the same Black and interpreted by its peculiar band. Black gives life to a rundown adult who suddenly finds himself in an obligation to deal with a class of students who inspire her love for something. This premise has been used countless times throughout the history of cinema. Normally products are aimed directly at television, easy tear melodrama and redemption. "School of Rock" is cut from the same pattern, but the dot thug and sincerity of his story are protruding above them all. "School of Rock" is a good comedy, and that is saying a lot, which never falls into cheap sentimentality so characteristic of this type of production. Through a very well assembled footage from less to more (and what else!), The film is not only limited to amuse the audience, but makes him a witness and, most important, an accomplice of his game. And the fervent passion that feels and conveys the character of the rock is just a sample of a commendable dedication and sacrifice, such genuine love for music.

remember the role that Jack had in "High Fidelity" (2000), for his love of music and his personality a bit shaken. And that character is built especially for this actor. Vago rocker is hitting something unbalanced screaming and jumping around. And all this because if they followed his career, will have noticed how Black likes to wink with the eyes, this great classic. But apart from the main actor, factor to take into account the whole of this film, the film also stands by itself. Children in general are phenomenal, and the film rewards us with some numbers truly remarkable music. The characters are very well built, and if hate with all our strength to Jack Black, you can always enjoy the more effective Joan Cusack, who plays the strict director, this comedy without Jack Black had not had the grace that has or a thousand light years away, I do not imagine it any other Hollywood comedy of the macrocosm as it is a predictable story and he become just another movie to pass the time and point, but with Jack Black transcends typical ignoring may be because he gives a spark to none. A comedy should not be underestimated because it is a predictable story, but know how to detect in it a great performance, a great musical tribute and of course the objective which is to make people laugh that he does so wonderfully well, what more could you ask for.

"School of Rock" is, therefore, a comedy show with surprising humor that is not based on the easy laugh, but in the subtle smile, something to be welcomed in view of the multiple tapes are released today and taking the public for a fool with their emptiness. But that does not sound like a philosophy lesson "School of Rock" is a love letter to rock and the spirit that persists in those who refuse to sell their convictions and opinions. And last but not least, it serves as a fantastic platform to give free rein to Jack Black, consecrating it as a major figure in contemporary comedy. This is one of those movies that will be enjoyed by both parents and children, with the potential benefit of serving as a common point for the union of both generations. The film is entertaining, although it is no wonder neither does its job and is grinning from beginning to end. The plot is fairly predictable and hackneyed by now, but thanks to steer clear of sentimentality more because opportunities were. And surprisingly, although there are many children in the film, do not wake Frenzied as might be thought, but will fall to well. A great band sound and the great Jack Black makes this film worthwhile.

"A frank and funny comedy"
