Great family movie while still being irreverent.
These days, you've got to appreciate a family-friendly movie that doesn't pander to political correctness or carry out some formulaic, sugary-sweet theme. This one is for the elementary schoolers as well as the parents and hits the sweet spot for us 40-something, former hard rock lovers.
Jack Black gives his funniest performance since High Fidelity and it's not too far from his real-life persona in his own band Tenacious D. Joan Cusack is great as the wound-too-tight principal and the kids give some endearing performances as well. Of course, the viewer needs to suspend some reality but at least it's not an over-the-top, kids-conquer-all type endeavor.
Dig the soundtrack and the title song too!
