There were always hints of Jack Black’s potential greatness (i.e. Tenacious D). However, it took director Richard Linklater to get a full service performance out of him. No one has been able to harness Black’s manic energy quite like him. Funny, charming, and catchy as hell, this movie has inspired actual schools of rock to open up across the country and teach impressionable kids the power of a good riff. The comedian’s passion for the guitar gods of rock made him the only choice to play a would-be rocker who fakes his way into a fifth grade substitute teaching gig (whilst ultimately developing his musically gifted students into his band). Take my word for it, play this comedy loud.
