The School of Rock (2003)

This turned out to be a well made film with great music. Though, I must admit I didn’t care for it much. The messages of the film were confused and generic. The standard “believe in yourself” theme was corrupted by the blatant “ends justify the means” attitude. Also, the stated theme of “stick it to the man” wasn’t developed as anything other than a vague “live your dream” idea. Parts were enjoyable, but the whole lacked focus.
