EW's GRADE
A

Details Release Date: Oct 03, 2003; Rated: PG-13; Length: 112 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Musical; With: Jack Black; Distributor: Paramount Pictures; More

A great, funny, joyous rock & roll fable. Jack Black reaches deep inside his headbanging self to play Dewey Finn, a slacker musician who takes over a class of fifth graders. Dewey is a relic, but a relic who believes in rock, and the kids are such straitlaced overachievers that yesterday's cornball rebel message comes full circle to meet them.
