This film shows the essence of rock'n'roll better than any other film I know of. Black is great, of course, in a role that had to be written for him, but what makes the film work is the kids. I also credit the scriptwriters for not making the crisis point in the film worse than it had to be. I must also note that Joan Cusack, whom I have found annoying in every other role I've seen her in, is really great here. Highly highly recommended. Laugh out loud funny.
Feel-good tripe: a string of clichés lashed together by a formulaic plot that features underwritten characters and sit-com style humor.
A failed rock musician impersonates a substitute teacher.
2.5/4 (Okay).
It has a lot of charm. It would have been nice if it also had jokes.
