The School of Rock movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: The movie that gives born-to-boogie Black the role he was born to play. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Achieves its ecstatic, giddy high because it is peopled by immensely likable, endearing characters, all led by the tireless Black, who could make even the staunchest country music fan believe that rock 'n' roll can, in fact, change the world. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [A] great big ball of entertainment ... Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: The cinematic equivalent of a near-perfect three-minute pop song. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: A very funny for-kids-of-all-ages delight that should catapult Mr. Black straight to the top of the A-list of Hollywood funnymen. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The School of Rock may be the best 'inspirational teacher' movie ever made. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: School could best be described as The Bad News Bears with heavy-metal guitar moves instead of home runs, but that it touches all the predictable bases somehow becomes part of its charm. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A pleasing mainstream comedy that uses new people and attitudes to entertain in old-fashioned ways. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Linklater strikes just the right power chords here. He respects rock enough to keep it real, and he has enough rein on Black to ground his wildness in warmth while avoiding easy sentiment. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: School of Rock will play you like a Gibson Flying V. And you will like it. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Black is still a happy geek in perpetual overdrive, only now he draws on his musical skill, and his hipster shamelessness, to deliver the acting equivalent of a perfect power chord crunched with a demon smile. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: A picture with pop's delicious energy yet none of its attendant risk, a flick that no one will love but everyone will like. Read more
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News: Not only is the heart of rock 'n' roll still beating, it's also highly amusing. Read more
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly: There is obvious affection between Black and the kids, and their interplay is disarmingly sweet. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Easily the funniest film of the year and one of those 'movies for all ages' (seriously). Read more
David Ansen, Newsweek: School of Rock made me laugh harder than any movie I've seen this year. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: It would be a shame if only kids went to see this film. Adults who can still plug in to their inner rocker, if only to play air guitar, will love it, too. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Linklater's direction -- right from the tossed-off opening credits -- is the happiest and most relaxed it's been since Dazed and Confused. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: This is fun for everyone, even those (like me) who hate contemporary rock music. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A string of cliches lashed together by a formulaic plot that features underwritten characters and sit-com style humor. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Here is a movie that proves you can make a family film that's alive and well-acted and smart and perceptive and funny -- and that rocks. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Coherent, hilarious and surprisingly sweet. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It gives Jack Black a role perfectly attuned to his comedic and musical gifts. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Not only a glove-fit of a movie for the volcanic Black, School Of Rock proves a surprisingly deft foray into pure, unadulterated fun for the gifted indie smart guy Linklater. Read more
Derek Adams, Time Out: A cathartic class comedy for kids of all sizes, it's Bugsy Malone in rock pomp, Slacker meets Spy Kids. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Black is consistently hilarious -- and not just in his dreams of moshpit glory. Read more
