School of Rock

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 7.1

After losing his place in a band and facing money troubles, an energetic guitarist poses as a substitute teacher at a strict private school. He turns a class of high-achieving children into a rock band, encouraging them to find confidence while he pursues a chance to return to the music scene.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this upbeat, funny music comedy if you like charismatic performances, feel-good stories, and youthful ensemble energy; Not for you if you dislike predictable plots, rock music, or mild profanity.
