No less impressive are the young performers who play the schoolkids. In casting a mix of professionals and first-timers, Linklater says that he wasn't so worried about acting ability - "most kids that age are pretty natural" - but he was keen to get a mix of interesting personalities, and some parts were completely rewritten to suit the character of certain individuals. But musical ability was a casting issue: "We scoured the country looking for prodigy-level musicians. They had to be a real band and had to be able to really play."

This presented a unique opportunity for Robert Tsai, who was discovered playing classical piano at the Lincoln Centre in New York. Taking on the role of the shy and socially under-confident Lawrence, the pre-teen learnt to play in a very different style for the movie - a challenge he took to with a great deal of skill and enthusiasm.

Cheerio!

Greatest Film of the Year!

'School of Rock' gives viewers an education in comedy.

"The School of Rock" is the greatest film of the year. I have seen it twice now, and would love to watch it again. It is a feel-great movie that is perfect for all ages. Your kids will be trading in their Raffi CD's for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, just the way Dewey Finn would want it. I raise my goblet of rock to you, Jack Black. We salute you.

The Wil Wheaton Review

WIL WHEATON DOT NET: ain't this the life?

The movie was mildly amusing to me, and though I enjoy Jack Black, I think he's better in a supporting role. I got serious Jack Black fatigue after about 40 minutes.

Surprising.

Black is Green?

Paul Green's School of Rock Music is featured in a New York Times article today.

Dude, said one reveler with a pink buzz cut. "They're just like the kids from the `School of Rock.'

Actually, Mr. Green argues, it's the other way around. Yes, like Jack Black's character, Dewey Finn, in the hit film, Mr. Green abandoned playing in amateur bands to teach youngsters how to rock 'n' roll, schooling them on the finer points of genres like prog rock, extolling the virtues of Pink Floyd. But he insists that his story is the original and not some well-timed remix.

Check out the trailer for the documentary, Rock School by Don Argott of 9.14 Pictures.

Hmm... looks similar.
