Review title: Implausible, but great fun.
Product review: I doubt this movie was meant to be taken as a slice of life. If it was, it certainly didn't work at that level. I took it as more of a fable about loving something deeply and how that love could affect the lives of others. The Jack Black character wasn't very good at what he did (That song he "wrote" for the kid band was hilariously bad; kind of like Black Sabbath meets Jethro Tull at a crack house), but his passion for rock gave his life a spark despite his admitted mediocrity. You couldn't help but root for the man. I also liked the way the film tried to give the kids a little more character than the average movie of this type. The adult scenes didn't work as well, but I did like the part where the buttoned-down principal and Ned were talking in the van. Her explanation about the pressures of adult life and what they can do to you were spot on.The music, of course, was the star, especially if you were around when it all started. A little nostalgia never hurt anyone.
