School Of Rock

The perfect Sunday family film right here. In recent weeks to chill out together after Sunday lunch we've tried the likes of Freaky Friday, Van Helsing and The Haunted Mansion (ouch) to do the impossible and please everyone, with varying degrees of success. But this one nailed just the right mood - not too cerebral nor too dumb, plenty of fun and none of it CGI, and a bunch of relatively non annoying child actors to boot. Been a Jack Black fan ever since I saw him listening to the squeek in his sneakers in Jesus' Son with Billy Crudup, and I can't get enough of him with Tenacious D. Well imagine the D with less profanity and that's basically it. Loads of energy, loads of laughs and an upbeat ending that really rocks. 7/10 Kx
