It's an okay movie, don't love it or hate it.

Loathe it. It creates a vision of a music teacher ignoring his family to create a Utopian vision of a music teacher and forces all music teachers into a mold that they may never fit.

You are quite right, however it would still not be worth it.

Like the band director at my old high school (who took the job after I graduated) and got 25 years for it. Wait until they graduate, then do what you'll do.

I know... I married her! (Oh, you mean the one in the movie, right?)

My wife really hates this movie though, just because that foul temptress has the same name. Me, my favorite part is how he gets the bass drummer to play in time. I am sorely tempted to try this myself, and now that I'm in a private school I might be able to get away with it!

Nope, not her.

That actress did, however, have her first movie role in probably the greatest movie of the 20th Century.

Not one of my favorite films. Mostly because his band sucked.

Anyone remember the high school band director who was banging the "Snack Pack" twins, and got away with it?

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but...

My son watches Nickleodian and Cartoon Network, and "School of Rock" was just on one of them for 2 days in a row. While it had the rare insightful moment, I am reasonably certain that if SOR was reallife, Jack Black would be doing some serious time.
