I have no intent on claiming this footage as my own. I am simply providing commentary and constructive feedback.
Fun fact; the kid who said "I'm not cool enough to be in a band" said that during his audition and was partly the reason why he got the role
Nope. It happened during filming
whoops@@gregdrake5069
Who gives a shit?
Even if some info is wrong (I have no idea) its always funny when that comment still gets more likes than the one correcting it. Most people don't care about the details we can just appreciate a classic line spoken by a badass piano wizard.
No it was when he was in Florida. He said it to Obama
This movie is literally just Jack Black telling kids to believe in themselves through music for 90 minutes. It's fantastic.
One of the most wholesome movies ever. The way Jack Black and the kids interact with each other is so effing heartwarming.
He's also giving them lifelong problems with authority and teaching them to lie to their parents lol
This is, perhaps, Jack Black's best role. Love this movie.
This and Tropic Thunder for me.
JB from Tenacious D for me.
Literally no one else could have done this role any better
Obviously none of you have seen him in The Jackal which is his most iconic role.
@@telemperor of course I saw him in The Jackal. But his part was so small. He was better in Cable Guy.
Hard to believe we just passed the twenty years anniversary of this.
RIP Kevin Clark (Freddy)
Why? No access to calendars?
@@docsavage8640 Of course I do. It means time has flown by. It feels like yesterday when the ten year anniversary reunion/concert happened.
So sad. May he rock wherever he is
I had the biggest crush on him when this came out. Was so sad to hear he passed
This is the movie that Jack Black is most proud of and it changed how music teachers have taught lessons since it's release.
Citation needed.
its= possessive
it's= it is
@@docsavage8640Nice to see real cunt! Welcome!
Quick fun fact: the guy playing Spider (the shirtless guitarist from No Vacancy) eventually became a District Attorney in the State of Texas.
That's a fact alright, but it wasn't that quick and I've heard facts that are more fun.
It would be a fun fact if he still wore the SOR outfit as a DA.
It's such a wholesome fun movie. Someone probably has recommended it already but you should watch their reunion live performance.
I saw this in a flight terminal coming back from a deployment. There was about 20 of us waiting for the C-130, and none of us had seen the movie before. Sadly, they stopped the movie with about 10 minutes left. It was a huge disappointment for all of us. 😂
Same thing happened to me with Stepbrothers. 🤣 Boats and Hoes. 🤣🤣🤣
When I first saw School of Rock, I didn't realize it was a comedy. I laughed so much, and I had so much fun watching it. It's so good!
You thought you were laughing at a serious dramatic film?
@docsavage8640 I wouldn't really say that. Until my teacher showed it to my class, I didn't even know it existed. I saw the show on nickelodeon and liked it. I then saw the movie, which had the same plot as the show. I then realized it was a comedy a few minutes in.
When did you realize it was a comedy? If you laughed, wouldnt you think its a comedy?
@crealkillr I think I realized it was a comedy either if my teacher told me or I saw Jack Black was the lead. Both are possible, but I realized it quickly either way.
Jack Black hams it up mercilessly in a role that was absolutely made for him. Right from the very start when he tries to jump into the non- existent mosh pit you know this is going to be great. Being a musician myself, and having been around guys like this even makes it more fun. Some great bits in this film especially when he can't spell his name on the blackboard, and he says to the kids about Led Zepplin 'don't tell me you guys never got the Led out'. Sarah Silverman is great as the the nagging girlfriend, and real satisfying ending. Just a great fun film.
Good moment in there that she tells him to stand up for himself, and he finally does stand up to her constant control.
According to Max Brooks his mother Anne Bancroft saw Jack Black in a school play when he was a teenager and said he was the next Marlon Brando cos he had such charisma and acting skill from a young age. That's why he can really ham it up and over play a part and still make it work.
This film helped me get into the genre of Rock and I am forever grateful
You might like videos from a real school of rock, Okeefe Music School. The videos of the kids playing are on TH-cam.
Blessed with the ROCK!!!!
@@Deathbird_MitchI second or third this depending on where we are. They do some amazing work for sure. The Slipknot series they do is some of the best stuff out there.
You have chosen the path of pain...
It's a long way to the top, if you want to Rock & Roll.
It's scary how talented Jack Black is. Dude can do almost anything entertainment-wise.
Jack's best movie, no question. Not just because of the acting but huge respect to him and the creative team for the way they portrayed rock music and the enthusiasm for playing music. And the message is "stand up for what you believe in". As a guitarist, this is level 10 for me. (Tenacious D is also good but I like SOR better because of its enthusiasm and the "educational layer".)
Absolutely love Joan Cusack in this
I quote this movie daily. I love it so much 😂
If you want to hear more of Jack Black singing, please check out Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny!!! It's one of my favorites
Master Exploder!
I always thought it was funny how in the movie Summer couldn’t sing yet in real life, she (Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly fame) is a successful pop singer.
Sadly, the drummer died in 21. He was hit by a car while riding his bike
I know Becca Brown, the bassist, had a yt channel. She has an amazing voice
the girl with the weight issue is a singer now and has released an album
I'm pretty sure the guitarist ended up in jail
@@sethrickard2154 I can't get behind people making up lies like that. Jeez
Ahhh yes, a true "classic" of sorts lol, I remember in grade school when the library would give out book binders from this movie 🥹 great memories 👏🏽 love your content Addie 🙏🏽
It's sad to admit, but I think 20 years is long enough for a class lol.
They had a reunion last year..every band member still plays their instruments AND ARE AWESOME!
@Addie Counts if you liked the movie, and we know you did, look up the School of Rock reunion concert
When he takes her to the bar, I love how she sips her beer, like she's never had it before. 😂 Comedy genius that's largely overlooked.
Addie you should check out the reunion concert these guys did a few years ago. All these kids grown up and playing music with Jack Black was super cool to watch.
supposedly they are planning another one.. looking forward to it
The funniest part of this movie imo is when Summer sings. In truth Miranda Cosgrove is a very good singer. She sang the theme song for her own show iCarly.
One of Jack Black's breakout roles was with Joan Cusack's brother John, in the movie HIGH FIDELITY.
The guy who played Ned, Mike White, wrote the screenplay.
He also co-wrote another Jack Black movie ("Nacho Libre") and did 2 stints on _The Amazing Race_ with his dad.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy And created The White Lotus....and wrote another great Jack Black movie ORANGE COUNTY
Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) invited Jack Black and 4 young musicians (12-14) to play “Mr. Crowley” for Tom’s mother Mary’s 100th birthday party a few months ago. Tom’s son Roman was on Guitar, Yoyoka on Drums, Roya Feiz on Bass and Hugo Weiss on the Keys.
This movie is the reason why I picked up guitar. AC/DC is the driving force behind why I continue to play this day. Long Way To The Top was the song the hooked me into playing guitar. My favorite group.
great song and band 🤘
A great movie, and I adore Joan Cusack in this movie. 🙂 "Mad? I'm FURIOUS!" 😀
Fun Fact, Summer, aka Miranda Cosgrove, the girl that couldn’t sing, later became a famous pop singer and popular actress.
I saw this in the theater when it was released and it's still a favorite. It's so uplifting and fun. Sadly Kevin Alexander Clark, the actor that played Freddy (his only role), died in 2021 at the age of 32 after being hit by a car while he was biking in Chicago (my hometown). Every time I rewatch this I think of him and I know that so many others do as well. You'll never be forgotten Kevin.
The kid playing the drummer unfortunately died a few years ago in a traffic accident. And the kid playing the guitarist has had a lot of personal issues.
i actually rewatch this movie a lot and it was during one of my rewatches i went on twitter when the credits were playing just to hear the news of his passing. i was so stunned, such a shame. seemed like a cool dude and was a cool ass drummer.
Not even kidding, one of my favorite movies ever. My friend and I quote it all the time. It’s so much better than it had any right to be.
Btw, since you’re a theater person, the actor who plays Theo (the singer of No Vacancy) is Adam Pascal, the original Roger from Rent.
Summer is played by a very young Amanda Cosgrove, who went on to be "ICarly" A friend of mine took his kids to see her at an event and said that she was super nice, so totally respect for Amanda...AKA Summer!
Great reaction and one his best movies ever. Also Nacho Libre is one his all time greats too!! Also helping children ❤
they also had a reunion i think 10 years later where they were singing that same song it was awesome!!!!
Kevin Clark (Freddie "Spazzy McGee" Jones) sadly was killed in an accident a few years ago. A vehicle hit him while he was riding his bike.
Fun Fact: Miranda Cosgrove, who plays Summer Hathaway in the movie, can sing. She took about a 45-minute "bad singing" lesson to sing horrible for the song "Memory" when Jack Black's character was looking for backup singers. According to the Blu-ray commentary, she sang awesome for the movie's title song as a demonstration.
Hey addie love your reactions,may i suggest tenacious d and the pick of destiny for your next jack black reaction i think its a movie you would really enjoy 🙂
Fun fact: this movie is loosely based on a real program with the same name. I wish I knew about the School of Rock program when I was a kid, cuz as someone that's been a musician my whole life, I would've LOVED to have been a part of it
My favorite moment in the movie "Do you need a hug!!??". 😂🤣
There actually is an after-school program named School of Rock. Nationwide.
These kids are very good. Sometimes, they do covers that are better than the original!
Did you know: This movie was adapted into an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. When I saw it on Broadway, before the show started a recorded message by Sir Andrew was played. He said something to the effect that audiences always want to know if the children on stage are actually playing their instruments. And he said they most definitely ARE playing live, which drew a huge roar from the audience even before the curtain went up. I think I like the movie a bit more, but the musical is definitely very good and worth seeking out.
There are now School of Rock schools all over. There's one in Dallas, that I pass by, pretty frequently.
Check out their reunion concert. The cast got back together!
Fun fact : the kids playing instruments in the movie were the ones actually playing the instruments. There's a video out there of them reuniting 10 years after the movie for a concert.
Is that not obvious from the credits sequence alone?
There's something about this movie.
It may not be the best filmaking, script, representation, serious, tecnical movie ever, but it's made with such love, respect and care for Rock n Roll history and fanbase that.. It inspires!
after the movie came out School of Rock actually did a few gigs. several years later they got together & did a reunion gig which is on YT & needs to be seen.
Everytime the Principal talks I get inmediate flashbacks to watching Toy Story 2 as a kid
That look of disbelief when they lost the contest was priceless! You were so upset!
You were the perfect reactor for this movie, you had ME (us) grinning ear to ear the whole time. I actually was at the filming of one of the scenes....it feels like two seconds ago...not twenty years! I don't know how Richard Linklatter pulled this story off because it's so absurd! But by gosh, did he do it! He had the perfect cast, that's for sure. Like you, I always love the way Joan Cusak tells the parents that the kids are missing, she's fantastic and very underrated, she totally matches Jack Black's performance. This is his best role, although he was incredible (and hilarious) in another Richard Linklater movie, "Bernie" with Shirley MaClaine. A true crime story! Worth watching off the channel! (that one flies under the radar currently......but it won't always!)
The best part of this movie is that it is a build-up movie. The kids built up Dewey's confidence in being a team player and making great music. Then Dewey built up each kid to find their true potential. They always say a great teacher can bring out something special in their students and and students can make a great teacher.
There's actually a School Of Rock for the kids in California. I'm not sure about other states. They learn an instrument or sing , and at one part of the school year or graduation they put on a show as a band.
RIP to Kevin Clark (aka Freddy) 🙏🏼
I really enjoyed you enjoying this! As a middle school music teacher for over three decades, I am a big fan of this movie.
yes!!! GREAT surprise! This will be right up your alley, im sure! Can't wait!
ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY

Hey, Addie, the actor that plays Freddie, who's the drummer in the band that Jack's character formed as an "School Project", unfortunately had passed away
Also, the actress that played Marla, the blonde girl who's one of the background singer's and one of the actors who played one of the kids that was a "Roadie", had become a couple in real-life
The iconic JB movie is "Tenacious D - the Pick of Destiny" and you may not go without seeing it.
It was a big surprise, I went with my wife and we had no idea what to expect, definitely one of our favorites now, billboards of it were up all over PCH where we lived in 2003
This was fun watching this film again with you! Thanks for the smiles. Rock-on!🤘🏽
I think Jack Black would have been an insanely awesome teacher himself!
Jack Black plays a similar role in 'High Fidelity' where he works in a record store owned by John Cusack.
It's more a rom-com than SOR with a more 'mature' theme, but well worth a look.
Jack has a supporting role in High Fidelity. Highly recommend.
Never expected to see this in the feed but yeno what I’m going to watch it all! ☺️
Best Jack Black movie ever. Any time this pops up on TV, I sit and watch.
What about Shallow Hal
🎸PICK OF DESTINY - You MUST react to The Pick of Destiny.😈
As a former sub, who took an electric guitar to every class I worked in, and subbed for music to math to science and the rest, worked the worst schools in the district, and used music as a mechanism for classroom management (Metallica, AC⚡DC, etc), Jack Black in this movie is a personal hero.💪🎵
🥰I reveled in your delight as this movie developed.🎉
🤘"Rock is not The Devil's work
🤘It's magical and rad"
If you don't know, JB and Kage will teach you.
💜Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny🎶
fun fact, I went to high school with Becca Brown (the bassist), we are in our 30s now, enjoy.
One of my favs! Thank you so much for watching this! Awesome
I passed high school geography because of the Animaniacs "Nations of the World," "The Presidents," and "The States and their Capitols."
So the guy plays spider, Jack black’s replacement in his orginal band is now a district attorney in Texas 😂
I just watched this movie last Friday and I enjoyed it. This is NOW my favorite Jack Black movie alongside King Kong (2005).
Speaking of Jack Black, I have three movie suggestions: The Jackal (1997) with Bruce Willis & Richard Gere, Enemy of the State (1998) with Will Smith & Gene Hackman, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer & directed by Tony Scott, and the EXTENDED EDITION of King Kong (2005). #MoreJackBlackForAddieCounts
The scene in the van where he had Led Zeppelin playing almost didn't happen. Zeppelin is very well known for not letting anyone use their music, so the studio to Jack Black he had to ask the band. He got all the extra and cast from the Battle of the Bands scene to ask with him... and they got full permission to use the Immigrant Song.
This movie is great, if you want to see a movie that uses more of his own songs, i strongly recommend " Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny"
Seems every time I watch Jack Black and the kids, I have a smile that just won’t quit.
My fave movie of all time. Yay reaction
You should see some of the meetings they did in real life live, they all grew up
One of my favourite scenes is the van ride when kids are introduced to "Immigrant Song". I wish you had kept it in and your reaction to it.
Reactors have to worry about copyright strikes on YT, that's why for example most of the music is edited out.
@@treetopjones737 though I am aware of these facts, my yearnings remain. Can still wish it though, can't I?
High Fidelity
this movie is allready a classic,i enjoyed your constant smiling
23:54 My favorite line in this entire movie!
It's been a while since I watched this. Thanks for bringing it back and making it fresh! I liked Joan Cusack as the Principal, too.
I saw this movie with a group of friends in theaters. It was surprisingly amazing. Glad you got to enjoy.
I was going to definitely skip this one until I saw the trailer, which convinced my to watch. Boy, was I surprised!
Joan Cusack was marvelous.
Summer is played by Miranda Cosgrove. She later released her own album. Her voice may sound familiar because she played Margo in Despicable Me.
This film is Directed by Richard Linklater and if you like this watch "Dazed and Confused" and "Before Sunrise" and all of his films. Written by White, "Grosse Point Blank" is amazing, staring John and Joan(principal) Cusack and "High Fidelity", a book written by Nick Hornby and translated to Chicago.
I grew up in where the book is set.
Loved the reaction. And thanks again for Allowing me to see it for the first time. There's more to everything in film.😊
Lived the years Dazed & Confused is allegedly about, that movie is crap.
@@treetopjones737 well, opinions differ. I grew up in the 80s but it was nothing like a John Hughes movie. I never traveled through time and certainly never knew any hot, female welders dreaming of a dance career... It's entertainment. Dazed and Confused is just a nostalgic, fictional look back at a by-gone era. If you don't like then ok, don't watch it again, but it's definitely not crap, there's a difference between fact and opinion.
I lived it, movie is a poor attempt at nostalgia. Breakfast Club wasn't made as nostalgia of the 80's, it is about teen HS stereotypes. And it was well written and acted, D & C. was not.
"I'm distracted by... [gestures] all of this." 😉😎
There is a full video on youtube where they did this school of rock reunion concert with all the kids grown up and perform with Jack Black again!
This is my sister's favorite Jack Black film and she's not a big fan of Jack Black.
Fun Fact - The actor who plays Spider is now the District Attorney of Tyler County, Texas.
Jack Black played the Biker who kicked the dog off the bridge in Anchorman.
Love this movie. I saw it the first time at the Stockholm International Film Festival where it was a so called "surprise film", meaning we had no idea what film was going to be shown. So when the movie started the audience didn't know what film they were going to see. It was a great night with many laughs. Jack Black rocks!
Jack Black had a role in "Cable Guy" as well that was dark comedy.
By the way Addie ,"you're the man"
Cable Guy is not a Jack Black movie, just because he was in it.
You watch the Cable Guy for Jim Carrey
In Orlando, and probably some other cities, we have a School of Rock after school program for kiddos.
Spider is actually a lawyer now :)
My favorite fun fact for this movie is that the replacement bass player, Spyder, is now a District Attorney in Texas lol.
I went to see this movie every weekend that it was in theaters back in 2003.
Fantastic reaction. I, too, can recite the 50 states alphabetically because of an elementary school song that never left my brain! Can't believe I'm not the only one 😂
Seeing Miranda Cosgrove (Summer) as such a wee baby makes me feel old. 🧓🧓
A friend of mine suggested this to me she said it's not your kind of movie, but by the end it will be your kind of movie, damn it if she wasn't right
Love love love this film. Jack Black is certainly one of a kind.
I adore Joan Cusack.
