Mike White, who plays Ned, wrote the movie. Looking at his credits it's pretty understandable how he has written such a natural sounding movie that doesn't smack you in the face with a message or talk down to the audience. He's written and produced episodes for Dawson's Creek and Freeks and Geeks so he knows how to write for a teenage audience. He also created Enlightened and The White Lotus and wrote Orange County, The Good Girl and Nacho Libre so he's just a very good filmmaker overall. His writing with Jack Blacks acting and improve skills was a recipe for success.

One aspect i love about this move is how JB's character goes from being a slacker pulling a scheme to get a quick buck, to an actual, competent teacher, he teaches the kids music theory, history of rock, he makes a syllabus, he selects records for each kid to inspire their respective instrument playing, etc.., if you look at the "History of Rock" diagram he shows to the class, that thing looks intricate as hell and probably not something he could write in an afternoon. He realizes he's being a positive impact on them, so he starts preparing his classes, learning how to connect with the kids and actually putting effort in something since the first time in probably ever. The movie is as much about Jack Black helping the kids as it is about the kids helping Jack Black

@@Optable While that is a fair point, I have a couple counterpoints to that. 1) It was initially proposed by JB's character to be a class field trip, so it would have to be during school hours, especially without any parent chaperones. (Remember, it takes place in America, and American schools don't tend to have out-of-hours field trips except for big, pre-planned/annual events, at least in my experience.) And 2) while I don't have first-hand knowledge of battles of the bands, I feel like 7 PM would be the *earliest* such an event would start, and it seemed like the kids picked up JB's character from home waaay too early for that to be the case. Also, I'd imagine such an event would normally be reserved for Friday or Saturday nights, and (in my limited experience) schools tend to have parents' nights during the beginning or middle of the week, not on Fridays. Obviously, I'm sure there are exceptions, but those are the generalizations I'm going with.

This movie actually makes me cry. I know its not supposed to be sad, but I was an artist, then turned into an english/social studies teacher for fourth and fifth graders. My teaching style was a lot like how Jack Black is in this movie and the kids loved it. They learned to love themselves, they really liked me as a teacher, and they learned to get along and do better in school.... but one day I was observed by the admin and she did NOT like my methods and so they brought in someone from the state to observe me twice a week. I basically had to turn into a stuffy mean teacher or else I would get fired. I was threated with termination multiple times, or being replaced wih my aide. I went home crying almost every day because a lot of those kids really needed help that i was no longer able to give, and many came from unstable homes where their teacher was the only stability and care they got. their grades plumetted and of course i was blamed for it. nothing i did was ever right. I got married that summer and never went back. Every now and then I still run into those kids and they tell me I'm still their most favorite teacher they ever had, and they did learn a lot in my class. i've kept all their notes and letters, but i will never be a teacher again. Teaching is a hard gig in this country, especially if you truly care about every kid.

Jack Black is one of those actors you really can't replace, and it shows. That man can make any movie he's in entertaining.

This is honestly my favorite Jack Black movie. I still can't believe in 2021 we lost Kevin Clark who played the drummer Freddy Jones.

Jack should have brought home an Oscar for this role. Singlehandedly one of the greatest performances in film history. Runs the show, moves the show, balances the plot, adds wholesome comedy, and unknowingly steals the show all in one frontman screen leading performance of a lifetime. A top 10 single performance- ever.

Think I first watched this movie in 2015. At the time (and of course, to this day) I was into classic rock, hard rock, metal etc, thus compelling me to watch this. But the message is more than just "rock rules, classical music sucks, rebel against your parents!" Like Alex said it's portrayed beautifully how he inspires the kids, grows a relationship with them, and helps them develop talents they didn't know they had. And it comes off so organically and not forced like it would if it was made today. Great movie!

This continues to be one of my all-time favorite movies. The song they perform at Battle of the Bands is a total banger. “You’re tacky and I hate you” will never get old.

The french fries at a buffet thing is such an important lesson, it should be in EVERY kids' movie, yo. Make it happen, Alex! :D

Mike White, who plays Ned, is an incredible writer. Love all his stuff including White Lotus. Great film to review!!

Rest in Peace to Kevin Clark, who played Freddy the Drummer ❤

I remember I read something (And forgive me for my oversimplification) about the tragedy in film culture which is the loss of "the family movie". A movie that parents and kids could like for the SAME reasons and watch together. It wasn't something you put on the ipad and left your kid with, it wasn't something you hid on your laptop so your parents wouldn't find out you were watching a "grown up" film, it was something everyone in the house gathered around for, and thoroughly enjoyed AS A FAMILY. I think the closest thing we've gotten as of recently is "Mitchells vs The Machines" (Which was STILL very bare bones and a little too 'kiddy' for me, but still a family film) because you could tell the people who wrote it... HAD kids, and understood how parents and children acted together. EDIT: I also want to make it clear that I do not count fantasy movies in this description. This is specifically about family centered sitcoms and movies, not about fantasy, which- while it can have the same appeals, is ultimately more story driven and adventure oriented next to solely being a story about a family. I can't explain this in a way that makes sense for some reason, so I hope you get what I mean.

4:55 ah ..true in my life that happened 😳

it's okay Alex, you can tell us if you want to be a professional singer

when i was younger, this was MY movie. i probably watched it almost a hundred times (not even exaggerating i watched it EVERY night). i used to be able to quote this word for word. but seeing as it’s been like 5 years i probably can’t do that anymore.

I can literally watch this all the time and it never gets old I wasn’t even alive when It came out hahah

11:33 OhHhHhhHhh my god you showing Rush in this video just made me a super fan of you now. My absolute FAV group

It sure was, crazy and fun...so iconic. A film for all ages that never gets old. .R.I.P Freddie/Kevin Clark

15:47 Why is this such an early 00's song? I mean, it's perfect for the time period it's supposed to be. The hell, dude. Also, I love this movie, it rocks

Omg I JUST rewatched this a couple weeks ago. So glad you’re doing a vid on this too! I grew up watching this with my dad. It holds up so well!

10:10 digital footprint 😭😭😭

The musical based on the movie slaps like wild. It's like. So darn good.

14:31 Should i be worried that this part stays in my head rent free

I hope Jack black lives till he’s 100. A man like him is a once in a lifetime kind of person I just love the guy so much

15:43 Looking back, can’t believe this was my vibe in the 2000’s. Mind I was born 99 so my earliest memories are 2004-2005

11:51 Their gonna laugh at me (Then an ad pops up of a bunch of people laughing)

One time my English class tricked a substitute teacher into putting this on when we were supposed to be doing stuff for the junior cert. Needless to say that when our English teacher came to check on us she was not amused

That pop-punk song pastiche tho. That was one of the most inspired Alex jokes, like, ever. Also, 100% agree with your thoughts on the film, which mirror mine the first time I saw it as a late-20something or early 30something male.

7:45 seeing Jack Black as a Vampire and Mike White looking like Marilyn Manson is Gold

Nowadays, Dewey would never have been able to pull off his ruse without being outed via his social media account. Also, rest in peace to Kevin Clark, AKA Freddy Jones, who passed away in 2021, aged just 32.

He passed away?! Oh my gosh in my mind they're still kids and I know 32 is still VERY young. I did not expect that right at the end of the comment. May he rest in peace. Edit: Oh my gosh I just searched it on google, he didn't just pass away, he was killed by being hit by a driver 😢

I love this movie! Thanks for doing this one! Fun fact: @13:00 This guy plays Robby Krieger, the guitarist for the Doors in the Oliver Stone movie of the same name. He wrote _Light My Fire,_ and the Asian kid keyboardist was also studying The Doors in this movie. As a huge The Doors fan, I loved all those little tidbits. 🤓

Honestly Alex your humour in this was top tier, I’ve just stumbled into your channel but imma go binge now, take my sub

School of Rock: a ultimate geology class

Jack Black is the literal embodiment of cool😂

I bought the soundtrack in 2004 and listened to it while convoying through Mosul every day; confident the war would end any minute now.

This was one of my fave movies as a kid, I rewatched it a year ago and still loved it. Loved seeing your take!

Don't think I've seen this movie since high school but I saw this in theaters. If I remember anything, it was how positive and supportive Jack Black was of the kids. I honestly believe he's genuinely this good of a side to the people he meets

This was never a childhood movie for me, but I loved it when I first watched it as an adult. It makes up for all the missed nostalgia by being chaotic as heck. Honestly, as someone who grew up enjoying chaos and ridiculousness in my movies (Barbie franchise, Spongebob, freaking 80s movies), what else could I ask for.

Love your song at the end. It hits all the right tones of 2000s music!

This is one of my favorites. My mom introduced me to it and we still quote it and talk about it to this day. Such a great film.

Jack Black oozes confidence and charisma, the man was born to entertain.

this movie is legitimately one of my absolute favorites. the storyline, message, jokes, are all amaizng and the music is phenomenal. i just love everything about it idc how stupid others may think it is.

I just love Alex so much on how he comments the movies it makes it totally fun

This is one of my favourites and always will be! It sends a great message and is just fun!🤘🏻

My little brother, my dad, and I watched this movie so many times! I love it so much!

This movie changed my life as a kid, no joke. And it’s really one of the only movies that can still make me emotional for whatever reason. A true modern classic!

I have to do the “baby we was making straight a’s” And it’s not good but at the same time- ITS SO GOOD

I love this movie, one of my favorites. The suspension of disbelief works well because the characters are just so relatable.

I had a teacher that really liked this movie, and before the holidays he often watched it with us.
