This week, we review School of Rock (2003), Richard Linklater’s wildly fun and music-fueled comedy about passion, rebellion, and finding your voice. Jack Black stars as Dewey Finn, a down-and-out guitarist who fakes his way into a substitute teaching gig at a prep school only to transform his class of straight-A students into a shredding rock band. With its blend of infectious energy, classic rock references, and heartwarming underdog vibes, this film hits all the right notes.
Is music the ultimate form of education, or just the best excuse to break the rules? Listen on to find out!
Movie 1399 on Metacritic’s all time movie list.
