Review of Rock School (2005) by Emily A — 06 Dec 2006
Not to be confused with the recent Jack Black comedy "School of Rock," this documentary chronicles the struggle of one man to run the nation's first conservatory for aspiring rock and rollers, with students ranging in age from 9 to 17.
In terms of tone, I was reminded of the excellent "American Movie," another film that chronicled one man's quest to achieve an unlikely dream, and "Rock School" is both hilarious and inspiring, culminating in a jaw-dropping sequence in which our heroes and his pupils fly to Germany to headline a Frank Zappa festival, backed by members of Zappa's original band.
Wow... these kids can *rock*.
