"School of Rock..."

...is one of the most shallow, souless, joyless, humourless films I have ever seen. It's like they took the funny bits from Wayne's World and Airheads, filled them with children and made them really, really lame. The messages from this film are so contradictory, and all-over-the-place, that you end up losing interest in what's actually happening, which it turns out isn't much anyway. As calculated an exercise in "cool" as Britney Spears wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt, I found it more transparent than a window. I don't remember laughing once, and I can't even remember the plot, even though it was only on an hour ago.

Rubbish.

That film wasn't rubbish.

Oh yes. It was.

I was really, really disappointed with this.
The soundtrack was excellent and worthy of purchase if you're stupid and don't already have those tracks.

But the film...jesus christ.
Jack Black mugging worse than Jim Carrey. Annoying kids. Cliche uptight headmistress. It ran every single cliche and signposted jokes from a mile away.

"Hey, he's not a teacher. That's illegal and we can sue you"
"Sure he's an imposter but look at them rock"
"Wow, you're correct. Suddenly I am not angry with a complete stranger taking my children to clubs outside of school ours, because I recognise my son can play the piano. Despite the fact I paid for lessons for years for him to be this proficient"
"Yes, me also"

Terrible terrible film.

It could have starred Jim Carrey, Mary-Kate & Ashley, and Hulk Hogan. Yes, it was that bad.

Nah, I enjoyed it... okey, massive, massive nonsense of a plot, but I dunno, passed time better than most rubbish. Introduced me to The Ramones too, so can't be all that bad.

It was fun.

"Your kids have touched me, and I'm sure I've touched them too."

And Jim Carrey is class.

Jack Black is Pauly Shore for a new generation.

Conversation, end of.
