Fired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll. The school's hard-nosed principal is rightly suspicious of Finn's activities. But Finn's roommate remains in the dark about what he's doing.

the film honestly is kinda JUST good.
jack black is great aswell as his character but the kids range from pretty charming to fine.
the first act of the film is very slow, its got its moments but it definitly picks up the further it goes down the line
