School of rock - regia di Richard Linklater, con Jack Black, Joan Cusack

Avevo in mente questo film da parecchio tempo e finalmente ieri ho deciso di guardarlo, beh veramente una bella sorpresa. Molto carino e per nulla sdolcinato con un grande Jack Black che somiglia moltissimo a John Belushi sia fisicamente che come modo di porsi davanti all' obbiettivo. Bella colonna sonora tutta a base di Rock e bravi i bambini che hanno l'aria di essersi divertiti molto a recitare in questo film.
Giudizio critico : molto rock

... oggi e' la giornata dei ripescaggi !

Anche questo film ho avuto modo di vederlo di recente in DVD (nei cestoni dei supermercati spesso si trovano delle piacevoli sorprese a prezzi ridicoli !), e non posso che condividere il giudizio espresso da Foca; bravi i ragazzini e bravo Jack Black, davvero simile, nel modo di proporsi, al grande Belushi.

Ottima anche la musica, tutta a base di solido hard rock.

Da vedere, negli extra, la divertente esortazione di Black ai Led Zeppelin per permettere al regista di usare nel film la loro "Immigrant song" !!!
