K Dogg’s Quick Movie Review

Here’s a short review of a recent movie I've seen.

Movie: School of Rock

Jack Black plays Dewey Finn, a wannabe rocker who is kicked out of his band. Dewey keeps getting harassed by his roommate's girlfriend because he never has any money to pay the rent. Dewey ends up landing a job as a substitute teacher for a fourth grade class. Dewey isn't too interested in teaching the kids traditional things so he decides to give them a few lessons in Rock N' Roll. This is a pretty typical Jack Black movie with him running around acting like a moron. I like Jack Black to an extent like when he's a supporting character, but I think he has trouble carrying a movie by himself. After a while I think he becomes pretty annoying. I thought this movie was ok. I wasn't expecting too much going into it. It was kind of funny in the way that Kindergarten Cop was funny. This movie would be pretty inoffensive to everyone. I did like most of the music that Dewey is teaching the kids about. This movie lasted a bit too long. A comedy like this should never run past 90 minutes. I would say that only the hardcore Jack Black fans would say this movie is very good that most people would say it's ok. This movie is fine to rent if nothing else is in.
