The School of Rock (2003)
     Directed by
Richard Linklater

Writing credits (WGA)
Mike White (written by)

Plot Outline: A wannabe rock star in need of cash poses as a substitute
teacher at a prep school, and tries to turn his class into a rock band.

Awards: Nominated for Golden Globe. Another 6 wins & 11 nominations.

Dewey Finn is a lazy freeloader and a guitarist in a rock band who plays
gigs every night and sleeps every day, in his friend Ned Schneebly's
apartment. One day as he shows up late for band practice he notices a new
guitar player who is replacing him. Poor Dewey feels so bad about it and
also about Ned and his girlfriend threatening to kick him out since he
doesn't pay any of the bills. After a few days of trying to sell his
guitars, which doesn't go very well, the head of a school calls and asks fo=
r
Ned Schneebly, who is a talented substitute teacher with a good reputation.
In a desperate attempt to getting money fast, Dewey impersonates Ned and
conveniently finds himself the teacher of a third grade ( or something like
that ) class for several weeks ahead. Yet another one of his crazy ideas
strikes him and his plan to turn his class into a rockband to win the Battl=
e
of the Bands competition is set in motion.
School Of Rock is a great feel-good comedy, fun for just about anyone of an=
y
age, kids or adults. Jack Black does carry a lot of this film on his own bu=
t
I won't be too harsh on the kids in the movie, they did very well also. If
anyone else should play Dewey Finn rather than Jack, it just wouldn't be th=
e
same. Since Jack is actually in a rock band in real life, and has played a
few characters in films before who are also into music, he just seemed to
fit right into this film. His real passion for rock music helps a lot in
this film, and makes Dewey Finn one heck of a good character. The plot to
this film is really good.   I think and Mike White did a great job on the
screenplay. As did Linklater on the direction of the film.
