"School of Rock". I watched this on pay-per-view Tuesday night. Yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but I liked it! Wouldn't it be cool if we could have had music CDs as homework assignments when we were kids? And I of course enjoyed Jack Black's enthusiasm and interpretation of the rock and roll tude. Here he was teaching a girl bass player how to snarl, a lead guitarist how to showboat ala Pete Townshend, and a timid singer how to overcome self-image issues. I guess this movie mostly appeals to those of us who secretly always wanted to be a rock star. Present company included.
