School of Rock (2003)

Jack Black does what he does so well -- manically impersonates an obsessed rocker. I've seen him do it in Tenacious D, High Fidelity, and even the Conan O'Brien 10-year Anniversary Special. He's pretty good at it, though. But this is really more a kids' movie than anything else. They form a band and stick it to the man -- but it's cute as can be. Unfortunately, both Sarah Silverman and Joan Cusack are wasted in two-dimensional characters (bossy shrew and uptight principal respectively).
