I can't believe "School of Rock," the infectiously delightful musical comedy that proved indie icon Richard Linklater could go mainstream without losing his edge, would be as great as it is without Jack Black. I honestly couldn't see anyone else playing his role and bringing the level of charisma and magnetism he permeates so easily.

Amusing if you're a fan of Jack Black's one man, one trick show; painful if you're not. Spinal Tap lite.

Jack Black once again hits the silver screen as the rejected son of Adam Sandler and Sam Kinison. This man has the acting skills of a younger and louder Jim Carrey, who, for the most part, is an atroucisouly bad actor and very unfunny. I only hope he doesn't destroy the promising, upcoming film, "Be Kind, Rewind". There is only one reason to see this film folks, all the young musical talent (talent Black wish he had) and their coming together to make an absolutely mediocre rock song (the films climax...tell you anything?). Of course, it's not all Mr. Black's fault. This film would've sucked from start to finish, unless it was, "Tom Waits' School of Rock". Nice try Black, but excluding Waits, not even Wonderboy could save this piece of crap.
