THe best part of this performance is that ALL the kids were involved. He didn't just scoop up the kids who had musical talent, he made sure that EVERY kid had a role and could meaningfully contribute, and in a way that best showed their talents. And the kids were all having a lot of fun because of it.

Umm ... hate to burst your bubble folks but Dewey is not real, nor are any of the child characters in the film. It's not "based on a true story" or anything like that. So .. the script-writers chose to include all the "kids"; they don't have siblings (because they're not real), and a kid almost certainly did NOT write the song.

For a group who is suffering from a terminal blood disease (which I believe it's called "stickittodamaniosis"), they performed pretty well

Personally, I agree with Jack. This was the height of his career. Also, I read somewhere that they kept in touch and have a group chat. I also read somewhere else that the drummer died in a car accident.

There's some understated irony here; The song originally planned for the battle was a spiteful ego trip about how he made his old band what they were and they were nothing without him. In the scene right before this, having gone through quite a bit of character development over the movie, he admits that Zach's song is better and they should go with that, basically giving his big moment to the kids instead. Zach's song, when listening to the lyrics, is basically a tribute to Jack Black's character and how he helped better them. So in the end he still ends up singing about his own accomplishments, it's just truly earned rather than being a boast.

Underrated element of what makes this movie great is that it highlights how many people are key to the band's success besides just who's up on stage. Showing the roadies, the stage crew, the effects people having key moments really shows that Jack Black wants to highlight the whole crew it takes to really put on a rocking show, and highlight just how much those people matter. A great bit.

I feel like they haven’t been able to make a movie quite like that recently and still allow it to have “soul” without feeling cheap or virtue-signally.

I’m referring moreso to the current landscape of things SUCH AS the Oscars adding “Representation and Inclusion Standards” which literally require filmmakers to include “underrepresented” groups to check a box rather than because they’re the best for the job. If-like in the case of Halle Bailey-they do some “race swap” but still get someone super talented, I literally couldn’t care less about the race swapping itself.

I'm so proud of the drummer. in the beginning, they said he got stuck on the triangle because that was the best he could do and when he got put on drums he took it dead serious. it warmed my heart to see him work so hard to do good.

RIP! In May 2021, Kevin Clark died in an accident, aged 32. He was riding his bike in Chicago when he was struck by a car on May 26, TMZ reported. In a tribute on social media, Jack Black remembered Clark as a "beautiful soul" and said he was heartbroken by his death. Clark hadn't appeared in any films after School of Rock. Instead, he lived a relatively private life as a professional drummer for a band called Dreadwolf. He reunited with his former substitute teacher, Jack Black, in 2018.

ffs I went from loving this movie as a kid when it came out to the final performance brings me to tears everytime now.... all the parents in the crowd watching their kids shred.... my kids still bring me to tears every school performance... my oldest is 17 and still brings me to tears.

Ma dudes, I cry happy tears every time I see this. This kind of music education focused on self appreciation and creativity wasn't something I got in school, and because I had a religious upbringing it (rock/music) wasn't a opportunity I saw. I show this movie to anyone who's haven't seen it. Can see it again and again. If you put your mind and focus to something, the sky is the limit!

The craziest thing about this, for me, is that I QUITE LITERALLY live down the street from a SCHOOL OF ROCK center, here in Far North side of Chicago. I can come out of my bldg and walk rt up the street to it. Love this music movie becuz it encouraged kids to tap into their vast many talents and opened up their confidence to the widest degree. I went to an arts JHS and HS in 80s & 90s, so I def know why this movie really matters.

It's a great message to kids with tradituonal parents. Just because your parents have a path laid out for you doesn't mean it's the right path. Kids should be encouraged to express themselves.

I really feel this showed that this character was a good teacher. He took a bunch of kids and taught them to play different kinds of music and to love that music.

I didn't care when I was a kid but as an adult I think School of Rock should have won, and if this had been made by Disney they would have!

@@Thunda1986 sometime the obvious solution is the best solution. Take Creed for example. Adonis lost in the first movie for absolutely no reason other than to have another Rocky comparison. And that would have been fine if he faced Pretty Ricky Conlan in the sequel but that didn't happen. It's still a good movie but it would have been better had Adonis won.

It's not always that simple. For this, my guess is that No Vacancies won because they were all adults (not that they didn't hold their own). It just wouldn't have been "right" to give the prize to a mostly-kid band over adults. In Star Wars AOTC, there were other considerations for Anakin Skywalker, but they chose Hayden Christensen because he and Natalie Portman looked great together. As for Creed, Pretty Ricky was technical and coordinated his whole career. Adonis has been fighting his whole life, but he never had technique and coordination mainly being that no one would train him. Then he meant Rocky and started gaining technique and coordination. But then, word got out that he's Apollo's son and he [pretty much] got slapped with an offer right there. Adonis was just REALLY starting right there, plus you got Pretty Ricky having reach, so Pretty Ricky winning that fight didn't/wouldn't not make sense.

@@Sal_Sal27 ok but the kids had a bigger reaction than No Vacancies who laughed thinking they wouldn't be good especially with Dewey and we're proven wrong, even showing signs of shock. And you're right about Adonis but if he should have lost any fight it should have been the one in the sequel against Viktor Drago the first time (but I'm glad he didn't). Adonis didn't need to go the distance and lose to prove his talent. His Apollo's son and was trained by Rocky Balboa, a perfect recipe for success. Losing only makes sense from a realistic standpoint but it is a movie where the good guy should have came out on top. It's not like Bruised where Halle Berry ran out on her last fight and had to prove she's not a quiter. It's not a redemption story it's an origin story that should have saw Creed as the victor who would stay undefeated in the second movie and into the third, only losing to who is also undefeated if that person is more technical than him.

I just cried for how much I loved (and still love) this amazing movie and in particular this scene! Best job from Jack Black. Parents complimenting each other is amazing and the stage dive was the completion of a redemption trip that JB made ❤

If you're a band guy, you'll be hit by the heart, this movie.

Not a band guy. However i grew up with music and singing and performing. However this still was amazing.

School of Rock is one of my favorite musical movies! I felt in love with Jack Black for his astounding performance!

Jack black reminds me of teaching young kids in my youth. If you’re enthusiastic, genuine, and willing to be silly you can really get through to them. What a great movie

One of the most wholesome movies I've ever watched.

The "Oh la las.." always give me goosebumps :)

They sound a lot like the backing vocals on You Won't See Me by The Beatles.

School of Rock Lyrics [Verse 1: Jack Black] Baby we was making straight A's But we was stuck in a dumb daze Don't take much to memorize your lies I feel like I've been a hypnotized And then that magic man he come to town (Woo Wee) He spun my head round He said recess is in session 2 and 2 make 5 And now baby oh I'm alive Oh yeah I am alive [Chorus] And if you wanna be a teachers pet Well baby you just better forget it Rock got no reason Rock got no rhyme You better get me to school on time OH YEAH (yeah) [Verse 2: Tomika (Jack Black)] Oh you know I was on the Honor Roll Got good grades And got no soul Raise my hand before I could speak my mind I've been biting my tongue too many times (And then that magic man said to obey) Uh huh (Do what magic man do) (Not what magic man say) Say what (Now can I please have the attention of the class) (Todays assignment) *Ahem* Kick some ass [Chorus] And if you wanna be a teachers pet Well baby you just better forget it Rock got no reason Rock got no rhyme You better get me to school on time And if you wanna be a teachers pet Well baby you just better forget it Rock got no reason Rock got no rhyme You better get me to school on time Oh yeah! (yeah) [Outro: Jack Black] This is my final exam Now you all know who I am I may not be that perfect son But y'all be rocking when I'm done

There are so many arcs completed in this performance. All of the parents proud reactions (Tomika's warms my heart), Dewey finally getting picked up from a stage dive, even carrot top with the smoke machine. Movie has aged like a fine wine.

Absolutely one of my favorite movies Santa Jack Black is a lefty

Such a great movie, which led to a great musical, and a great nationwide music school! Now what the heck is up with bleeping out "Kick some ass!"?

This is one of my favorite movies, not just from my childhood, but of all time! I love Rock & Roll because of it. And I just noticed that Jack is dressed up as Angus from AC/DC, my favorite rock band lol

As a kid growing up this movie was FREAKING AWESOME 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I can never get enough of this, and all the times I've seen the movie, still enjoying every second of it. Jack and all these kids are just super amazing! 😍😍

The best part of the movie is the sheer love of the music. It shines through.

Love this movie, and that this song essentially tells the story of the experience that Dewey left on the kids is incredible.

I love thia movie...so memorable!!

I love this song it just makes me want to rock and roll with the music
