School of Rock

Jack Black stars as a hell-raising guitarist with delusions of grandeur. Kicked out of his band and desperate for work, he impersonates a substitute teacher and turns a class of fifth grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock and rollers. Directed by Richard Linklater (Boyhood), written by Mike White (The White Lotus) and featuring a cast that includes Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman, Amy Sedaris, and the debut of Miranda Cosgrove, this hit movie spawned a Broadway musical and a television series.
