School of Rock


School of Rock stars Jack Black, Mike White, Sarah Silverman, and Joan Cusack. In this movie, Dewey Finn (Black) is a failing musician who eventually gets fired from his band known as No Vacancy. Dewey is living with his longtime friend and former bandmate Ned Schneebly (White) and Ned's girlfriend Patty (Silverman). However, Dewey owes back rent of $2200, and Ned and Patty threaten to evict him if he does not start making payments. Dewey almost gives up hope, but he gets a call from Ms. Mullins (Cusack), the principal of Horace Green Elementary, a highly prestigious prep school, asking for Ned (who is a substitute teacher). Dewey pretends to be Ned in order to get the job, because it pays $650 per week and he is desperate. Of course, Dewey tries to get his class to just have recess all day, but he listens to the kids play in their music class, and he thinks they have potential to be great rock musicians. Dewey then manages to convince his class to concentrate on creating rock music full time (in secrecy, of course), and all the kids have a part, even those that don't sing or play an instrument (he has some kids work security, others carry the equipment, one become a "style consultant," one design a light show, and he even appoints the smartest kid in the class band manager). Although he initially does this to try to win Battle of the Bands, Dewey ends up inspiring the class to put on "one great rock show that will change the world."
