SCHOOL OF ROCK
This is a fun romp through one man’s dysfunctional lazy life that (predictably) turns a scam into a heartwarming lesson about the value of empowerment and encouragement (especially with kids). Dewey Finn (Jack Black)’s unceremonious ouster from his band is hilarious (picture an overweight guy stage diving into a sparse crowd), but the 10 year olds that he later recruits for his band are impressive. The under-appreciated talent of Joan Cusack shines here with a tightly-wound personality (Rosalie Mullins) opposite Black’s cartwheeling character. The 4-plus hours of extras loaded into this disc magnify the fun further. There’s a director’s commentary joined by Black; as well as a delightful commentary with the kids. While his pitch to Led Zeppelin (to use “The Immigrant Song” in the movie) does refer to them as “Rock Gods,” ahem, his misguided respect is recognized. The videos are a hoot, adding more laughs.
