School of Rock
« on: January 18, 2004, 02:16:13 AM »
So I went to see this finally at the dollar theater. I was impressed. It's actually really funny, particulary if you catch all the pop culture references. It's also really cute, but not so cute that you start to feel nauseous. And they even avoid cliche gross-out humor.

Though I should write a review, for the mean time I'll give it my recomendation for those of you who haven't seen it yet.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

Also, Jack Black completely deserves his Golden Globe nod for the flick.

Great movie--mostly because it so fit Jack Black.  He's never quite fit into the other movies he's done, but this one suits him perfectly.

1Not just Jack Black, but the kid actors in this movie are great. I think it's out on DVD now...
