Has anyone seen "School of Rock"?
I saw it two days ago. Fine movie.


But I was always wondering for the last year and a half why my favorite AC/DC song "Long Way To the Top(if you want to Rock N Roll) started to be played on the radio. Now I know.

Linklater, White, O'Rourke, Black, Silverman made a conscious decision to not deviate from that type of movie formula lest they lessen the box office take. I honestly expected some subversion of the genre. Alas, there was none.

4. I liked it a lot - outrageously funny
The film walked a thin line between the outrageously unreal and the real: about Dewey Finn being able to pass for a real teacher and turning a classroom into a rock band without anyone noticing and the very real possibility that the kids could actually form a band. These very young kids were really playing the instruments and that might have helped give us the belief that they might make it. Somehow they found some great kids who could both play reasonably well and also act and give off a natural feel.
