This is another great movie starring jack black. In the movie Jack Black plays as a character called Dewey finn, who gets kicked out of his band because of the random solos and actions he does when on stage. Meanwhile he is stopping at his freind Ned Schneebly's house, and is asked to pay his share of the rent. Later the phone rings asking his freind Ned to be a substitute teacher but he is not home, so Dewie takes up the opportunity. While he is at the school he finds out that his class have musical skills so he uses that opportunity to create a band, so that he can enter them into the battle of the bands to win the prize. This film has a very well written story, great acting and is very funny. I highly recommend this movie.

After being fired from his own band, the guitar player Dewey Finn (Jack Black) needs to raise some money to pay for his rent and his bills. When his friend and school teacher Ned Schneebly (Mike White) is called to a temporary work in an expensive private school, Dewey pretends to be Ned and accepts the job. He finds talented young musicians in his class, and he decides to form a rock-and-roll band with the students and win a competition called "Battle of Bands" to raise the prize and be recognized in the show business.

"The School of Rock" is a very funny and politically incorrect comedy tailored for Jack Black. He steals the movie and rocks in the role of a rock-and-roll lover, who dreams to be successful as a guitar player. Most of the lines belong to him, and I believe this movie is his best individual performance in his successful career. Joan Cusack is excellent as usual, and Miranda Cosgrove seems to have potential and be a great promise as actress. The soundtrack is a great homage to rock-and-roll, with many classics including Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". The DVD is full of worthwhile Extras, and in the end this film is an excellent funny entertainment. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Escola de Rock" ("School of Rock")
