In spite of the hype, the hype, and the hype Jack Black's new film SCHOOL OF ROCK is a forgettable second-best effort. In spite of some reasonable writing and a few memorable scenes (the "Step Off" scene was the entire movie for me) the director failed to get the kids to act -- there are a few interesting arcs among them, journeys worth watching, but their performances were flat throughout. Every step was predictable and not very interesting. Most annoying attribute: no sub-plot whatsoever -- the movie was MORE linear than a 30 min sit-com. I found myself bored way too often. Suitable for 6-12 year olds.
