‘SCHOOL OF ROCK’
Starring: Jack Black, Joan Cusack and Miranda Cosgrove
Written By: Mike White
Directed By: Richard Linklater
When you watch it too thoughtfully, School of Rock becomes kind of a disconcerting film. The school’s security is so lax it doesn’t check for ID and a complete stranger is left alone with roughly twenty primary school children. From that starting point, you’re left with either an episode of Criminal Minds or a heartwarming comedy that wears its love of rock music on its sleeve. Fortunately, director Richard Linklater delivers the latter.
