(For Friday 3/11) School of Rock - 2003

Jack Black stars as a ner-do-well guy who needs a job. By happenstance, a school principal calls looking for Black's roomate for a job teaching kids. Knowing this might be his chance, Black decides to decieve the school and become someone he isn't - in more ways than one.

Enter Mr. Schneebly - school substitute. He discovers that teaching music to kids is something he's far better at than he could have imagined. Of course he gets a pretty good bunch of private school kids to work with - who come complete with hang ups and issues and talents.

Black figures out that they can enter a contest that will net $10,000 in award money. Of course he has to do it in secret since the school principal (a very proper Joan Cusack) is against displays like that. Of course on the road to competing in the contest, Black ends up having to admit his true identity and almost loses everything for the sake of a lie. Of course, as it usually happens - something like that tends to show you the things in life that are REALLY important.
