Original Movie: School of Rock (2003)
Check out Contest and Patreon Links in the Description Box!
If you enjoyed this you should check out The Rocker (2008) The story of a deadbeat uncle who joins his nephews teen band it's funny and heartwarming
I liked Orange County
Watch Stray
If you're really a bass fan I highly suggest Charles Berthoud's channel. You will not be disappointed.
If you loved this movie, you should look up their reunion on UA-cam.
The delivery of the "all your children are missing" line is one of my favorite comedic moments in film, lol
It's incredible. Joan Cusack is a treasure.
srsly
She's so great hahaha I also love "WOULD YOU LIKE A HUG?!"
Joan and John Cusack are great people. My landlord met Joan at her house in Chicago. I ran into John twice at the Malibu Inn in California. He recognized my Chicago accent right away. Bought me and my wife a round of drinks just to let him know what was going on back in Chi-town. Humble, honest and real.
She’s so brilliant
They had a real life reunion years ago when the kids are older, and played a few songs. It was pretty wholesome. I kinda cried a bit 😂😂😂
Yep, I believe you can find it on UA-cam somewhere.
The drummy Freddie, his actor Kevin Clark passed away
And Joey Gaydos Jr. (Zack) was arrested for stealing guitars and selling them in pawn shops
@@Scuffer00 damn, that's depressing
@@ButteredToast32Apparently they all were Sticking It To The Man! 😂
Joan Cusack is everything in this movie lmao. She delivers two of my favorite lines with "WOULD YOU LIKE A HUG?!" and "all of your children are missing 🤷♀️"
I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE'S PERFECT IN THIS ❤❤❤
RIP Kevin Clark (Freddy) 🤘😔
So sad
School Of Rock is a work of genius. Not only is it a genuinely brilliant and comprehensive education in Rock & Roll, it's also utterly hilarious, perfectly cast and extremely well written. Mike White, Jack Black and Richard Linklater deserve so much credit for this film, but also the incredible kids that make up that class. When a film is so quotable like this you know its done its job and then some. There are countless favourite moments I have in this film, but one that always makes me cackle with laughter is the way Joan Cusack delivers "I've just been informed, all of your children are missing". (Also RIP to Kevin Clark who sadly passed away 2 years ago at just 32 years old.)
Raises a glass for Kevin. Gone way too soon.
Jack Black has actually a comedy-rock band called "Tenacious D" (sort for Tenacious Defense). He and his best friend Kyle Gass formed it in 1994.
Love this! Ya ok I’ve heard of Tenacious D
This is one of those movies we WISH we haven't seen so we could make a reaction video to it 😂 Absolutely adore this movie!
Such a good movie!!!
Hey, funny seeing you dudes here! I too wish you could react to this one. If you haven't seen it, High Fidelity is great and is also full of young Jack Black musicality.
School of Rock is an utter joy. Led Zepplin were notorious for never allowing their music in films until this movie where Jack and the cast sent a begging video to Led Zepplin. Its in the special features and bO0m.. Zep are in School of Rock🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
That’s soo cool! I’m so glad they allowed it this movie ROCKS!
Jack Black also sings & plays rhythm guitar for the band Tenacious D...which was also a show on HBO, and also a film "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny".
100% a must if you enjoyed this then Pick of Destiny is a total required film for the music and the cameo's such a funny movie.
Their rendition of the Star Trek theme is a work of art.
"The sister act" is another movie about one person impersonating as someone else and changing people's lives through music, with some big redemption for the main character. Highly recommended. 👌
Yes yes one of my favourite movies!
"Aren't you tired of letting people push you around!" says Patty while pushing Ned around.
I was teaching guitar at the time, and used this movie as inspiration for the kids. One kid wanted to learn Zak's song and he crushed it! Then later we had a summer program called School of Rock and I rehearsed a band of kids on like three or four tunes, and we did a concert for the parents. They ate it up! That was a great summer.
Such a classic, and all super talented musicians! RIP Kevin Clark (Freddie)
They actually did a reunion concert 7 years ago. Most of these kids are actually playing and singing in this movie. It's up on youtube
Cool!
One of my all time favorites. The reunions are awesome to watch as well. RIP to Kevin Clark who played Freddy Jones. He’ll forever live on through this film!
One of the all time best feel good movies. When Tomika takes the mic on stage, I'm in tears every time.
A sad note: The kid, Freddy was on his bike in the last couple of years and he was hit by a car and killed
So sad
This should be a class. When you think about it Jack black is the best teacher ever. He found rols for everyone. Something they loved, and souther were good at. At he let it grow and he encouraged them. When the little guy wanted to make the outfits, DO IT! You don't wanna be a roadie wanna be a manager? DO IT! wanna sing? DO IT! He never stopped encouraging these kids. He found what they liked and what they were good at and told them to be the best at it.
Fun fact the band got back together for a few shows with Jack black like 10 years after this movie
Great film, but I would have hated a teacher like that.
One of my favorite comedies of all time. The fact that I'm an aging rocker and ex-teacher has "nothing" to do with that.
Hahaha this movie is so awesome!
"School of Rock" (the actual school) had it's beginnings in 1996, but prior to the movie, the school only had one actual location. After the movie came out, locations popped up all over the place. Videos from the past few years shows that these kids in the program are really great.
We have one in Dallas!
Got one in my city just a few years ago!
Yep! My son was in the Norfolk, VA School of Rock for a while...got to meet members of Heart. It was a great opportunity for him!
That’s amazing
This movie is incredible. This is just Jack Black lifting this kids up and telling them stop listening to 'the man' and do what their passionate about. Every single one had a place, no one was left out and EVERYONE was embraced. This is a gem of a movie. I had this movie on DVD and some of the kids did the commentary, it was so wholesome.
Has to be my favorite credits scene in any movie. So fun.
NACHOOOOoooooo....
These and "Be Kind, Rewind" are my favorite jack black films. Really deep, moving films despite being suuuuper silly.
Stick it to the man destroyed you 😂😂😂 your laugh is infectious
It DID!!! Hahahahha aww thanks for watching with me!
@@holddowna I have to admit I have watched this movie multiple times so the real reason was to see your smile and hear your laughter since they are both beautiful, all I know is you seem genuine and that's hard to find. Thanks for giving me a reason to smile, this world needs more exceptional women like you
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
A real life professional musician has been teaching a kids rock music school in my city for years. A few made a living playing music. Others just stayed off the streets and their lives were enriched and happier for it.
Love THIS!!!!
"Would you tell Picasso to sell his guitars?" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Died!
Joan Cusack deserves an Oscar, because she went from The Addams Family Values to this wholesome roll of lovable School Principal. She has the talent and the range… just please give her what she has earned! ❤
Neither one are Oscar deserving roles.
I agree with you on Joan Cusack. I've loved her since "Toys" came out and I saw it in the movie theatre
Toys is a very forgotten movie
@@nsasupporter7557 unfortunately. Do you think - on purpose? Too foreseeing? #bring "Toys" to people!
@@artursandwich1974 idk 🤷♂️
I say that because no one ever talks about it. You’re one of the only people who’s ever brought it up, so for that you should be proud lol
RE: Crowd Dive - In the 70s, my wife (later, we weren't then) went to a Commodores concert at Six Flags Over Texas. Crowd diving was a brand new thing. The bassist put down his guitar and made a huge swan dive from the stage and in her words, "The crowd parted like the Red Sea" and he splatted. She said he eventually staggered back up and continued playing but had obviously getting his bell rung.
My favorite part of this movie was the kids were musicians first and performed all their own music.
As a bass player, when you said you loved Bass, I immediately subbed. Made my day!
This movie is just the best, but also I saw the musical on Broadway and seeing talented kids play live instruments in the Winter Garden theatre was so freaking amazing I bought a ticket to see it again the very next day. And Alex Brightman brought every bit of the energy and humor and spunk that Jack Black did, I have no idea how he could do that 8 times a week
I love how she sips her beer when he takes her to the bar. I think you're the only reactor to this movie I've seen who even noticed it. Thank you.
HAHHA! I love joan! She brings so much nuance to her characters!
The rock guy trying to score with the principal is an honest to go U.S. congressman.
The music director for this film was Jim O’Rourke of Sonic Youth, one of the greatest and most creative bands of all time.
Wait. Wait. Wait… when you listed the Jack Black movies it dawned on me, you’ve never seen TROPIC THUNDER??? Ames, I think you would love it. It’s one of the more reacted to films for very good reasons. I highly recommend it. Try going in to it as blind as possible. As for this reaction, like all your reactions, it rocked! (See what I did there?) Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!! Haha oh tropic thunder!
In my opinion, this is one of THE most influential movies made in the 21st century. Before this film was released, most kids had no appreciation whatsoever for music that was made before they were born. School of Rock is single-handedly responsible for kids today listening to Zeppelin, AC/DC and the Stones.
As cheesy as they are, the Guitar Hero video games as well.
That is absolutely ridiculous, every line of this comment. It's a great movie, but everything you just said is fiction fantasy. ESPECIALLY when you're talking about Zeppelin, AC/DC and (to a lesser extent) The Stones. Those bands have NEVER gone out of style, every generation discovers them, through a whole variety of avenues (first and foremost, their parents and their older brothers and sisters). In the 80s, those bands continued to be big, in the 90s same exact thing. Amy knew all the songs being referenced (even knew who Lemmy was), and had never seen the movie (although she had played Guitar Hero. Probably as much of an influence, if not more than this movie). I'm not saying the influence was negligible, but that's completely idiotic. I worked at the club they filmed the first scene of this movie (I was there), we had the real School Of Rock playing there, like, the next year, doing an all Zappa show.
Most definitely for me. School of Rock was my favorite movie as a kid, but it wasn't until Guitar Hero and UA-cam that I discovered the classics. Shout out to Tony Hawks Pro Skater, as well, lol@@ZackHamlin1
Ames, if you want to see Summer Hathaway in the future... She's iCarly, Miranda Cosgrove.
The drummer was a fixture in the northern suburbs of Chicago, but he was killed in a biking accident a few years ago.
This movie is two hours of Jack Black teaching those kids (and people in general, including the viewer) to be confident in who they are and to pursue the things you're passionate about without worrying about getting approval from others. And you'll notice that he never hesitated to let the couple of kids that wanted to change their role in the band, to change their role in the band. For example, the one kid that wanted to be the band's stylist rather than be part of security; Dewey just said, with no absolutely zero hesitation, "Of course you can, Fancy Pants." No judgments, no weird looks, no questions about why that's what he wanted... he just let him do it.
It's a great movie with a lot of teachable moments that everyone can benefit from. I really loved how much this movie got you smiling and laughing 😊
🤣🤘🏽thanks so much for watching with me!
It's funny to think that both of Jack Black's parents were NASA engineers/rocket scientists. Safe to say little Jack chose a different path.
It’s reacting to these types of gem movies that make this such an amazing channel. Wonderful to share someone’s first time seeing a movie that I grew up watching over and over and have seen in entirely new ways through the years.
This is such a wholesome, funny and awesome movie. The kids must've had a blast and what's even better is that it seems they kept in touch thru the years, they had a reunion, a few yrs ago, with the exception of Freddie (drums) as he sadly passed away. I'm sure that will keep them united and they will pay their respects from time to time. Such an awesome movie.
Loved the reaction btw
Hey Ames, here's a few more great music-themed movies:
The Commitments (1991) Unemployed young folks in Ireland form a band playing American Soul music.
Crossroads (1986) Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid/Cobra Kai) is a classical guitar student at Julliard who hooks up with an old school Delta Blues harmonica legend.
Honkytonk Man (1982) Clint Eastwood is a depression era songwriter/musician trying to make it to the Grand Ole Opry.
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) Coen Bros. film starring Oscar Isaac as a struggling folk musician in 1960s Greenwich Village, NYC.
Purple Rain (1984) Prince is a struggling Minneapolis club musician trying to reach that next tier of greatness.
The Blues Brothers (1980) Two low-life ex-cons try to reunite their RnB band to raise money to save the orphanage where they grew up.
True Stories (1986) A docu-film of a fictional small Texas town, told as a full-length music video featuring all songs by the Talking Heads.
Fun one, Ames!! Really enjoyed watching this one with you. Face melted, LOL! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Holding down an A in School of Rock. Your laugh is contagious! You really figured out what was happening very fast yet that didn’t make less fun. I really liked your take on it and I subscribed!
Thanks so much for the SUB! means a lot! I loved this movie! Thanks for watching with me!!!
I actually taught myself guitar when I was 16, and I fell in love with the bass. I can play the school of rock song
Omg me and my brother watched this movie so much when it came out wow thank you for this awesome call back to my childhood
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s with a lot of this music. Back when public schools were teaching music, band and choir. Wood, metal and electric shops. After school programs for kids were normal and fun. We need to get back to investing in the next generations again. Btw, this movie does Rock..
Wonderful reaction - you made me laugh as much as the movie did. My son when he was around 9 or 10 could recite every line of this movie, so I saw it once or twice! And he would ask me about all the classic rock references in it (most of which I grew up with), so it was a joy to show him.
The kid who played Zach went to school with my younger brother. He is a very talented musician
Love when Joan Cusack stands in the corner.
33:30=In the spirit of rock history, "Edge of Seventeen" is a song from Stevie Nicks' solo career. But, FWM would later incorporate her song into their concerts!
After playing guitar and keyboards for many, many years in L.A. studios, I eventually ended up back in my hometown. After a time, I decided to be a private guitar teacher. I was basically amazed by how cool and fun these school age kids could be. Which was actually quite a revelation to me since I had never spent any time with kids before. It was really a great experience and I am really glad I decided to do it.
Been so long 😭❤️ glad you're still going up in subs ❤️❤️❤️
What amazing timing! I was in Japan last month and stopped to sing karaoke. Most of my favorite bands were not in the system, but I stumbled upon the main song from this film somehow. It's got a wide audience apparently, lol
It's nice having a reaction that understood the music / song references in School of Rock.
YEAH Ames! Another great one. Inspired by this movie, I used to do this at the Salvation Army’s School of Music. Taught drum lessons, but learned piano and sang to make mini bands for the kids end of season concerts. Have some videos on my channel. I love the part where Joan offers a hug to that little girl at the beginning; her frightened reaction was great, LOL. I’m gonna have to rewatch this one again soon. Jack and the kids were so great!
That’s sooo cool Maurice!! Love it!
If you ever get the chance, the musical based on this moving as also incredible, Alex Brightman captures jack blacks energy so well, and all the kids would play the instruments live.
Congrats, this vid made it on my legendary "Reactions" playlist lol
But srsly great vid, you should do more comedies you have a great laugh :)
I watch this movie everytime I need a little boost of inspiration. Not just for playing music, but anytime I feel like what I'm doing seems unimportant. Is that thing about one great rock show can change the world, yk? I just love it.
There is something so incredibly endearing about this film. I think it's the fact that the Jack Black's honest passion for music and rock just pours through every frame, and it just leans into the campy, comedic, Spinal Tap-esque comedy that's innate in such outsized passion while still reveling in it. That's such a delicate combination because if you lean into campy comedy too much it just makes a joke of the passion and music, but if you lean into the latter too hard you lose the comedy. In a way, the delicate balance it strikes is similar to the major theme in the film of finding the balance between living one's passion and how to survive in a world that will often beat you down for trying to live them. The film gives you a glimpse of how boring and empty life is when you abandon your passions completely, but also how low you can sink when ignore the rest of reality by blindly following them.
Anyway, easily one of the best films about music ever made. I think I rank it only slightly behind Amadeus (and they're so different it's hard to compare them). Both speak to me because of my own passion for music; grew up with a dad who played drums to rock radio, and picked up guitar myself around 13 and started learning to play rock as well. I never made much of it, but I've never lost my passion for the music, even if I think I was always more of a "listener" than a "performer."
“I played a lot of Guitar Hero” … I felt that in my nostalgic soul 😎🤘🏽
IT just felt like a movie you never wanted to end. Such a great movie.
This has been a go to movie of mine since I was a kid! So amazing to see the joy on your face seeing this for the first time! Loved the flowers you gave to Joan Cusack. She's such an incredible actress. If you've never seen Martian Child; you should definitely check it out! It has her and her brother John Cusack and its a beautifully captured, interesting and heartfelt movie!
Your energy is infectious!
I don't know if I've ever cried watching this film, but I cried at a couple different points watching your reaction.
I saw this movie 100 times since it came out and I never knew that he was quoting a Whitney Houston song
From what I heard Jack Black was very proud of this movie and it did pretty good in the box office so it really got what it deserved. This is such a great movie, it's fun and in many way educational about music. I had to add my favorite part is when they are playing Zack's song and Jack jumps in and does the guitar solo with his voice. and when you hear them preform the song at the end on the movie jack does the SAME solo he sings. it's so great.
Years ago, a girl living in my building gave me the DVD of S.O.R. and I have to say I never laughed so much. Jack Black and all the kids are awesome sauce ❤
It would take far too many words to describe how music makes me feel, but it's the one thing that from the beginning has never let me down. You clearly understand that importance. I think that now more than ever we need to protect those who teach all manner of the arts. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that music and the freedom of expression will save us all in the end.
I ❤school of rock!!! I remember watching it with my brother and sister, all 3 of us are all grown up but deep down we are still rockers and always will be! The making of or behind the scenes to this movie is really cool. The kids all actually play their instruments. Oh and they had reunion shows a while back. And 2 of the kids are married. Definitely in my top 10 popcorn movies to watch!!
🤘🏻 rockin reaction!!
Such a fun movie. The lead singer of his old band is also one of the main characters in the movie RENT which you may want to see, great deep musical.
A legendary movie
The casting in this movie is immaculate. Definitely a tear jerker while also making you bust a gut at the same time.
Always love watching your reactions, but this one (sorry for the pun) rocked. Your sincerity makes it a lot of fun and you have such a great sense of humor. Thanks.
Wow! Your intuition is so good. I was blown away by how tuned into the movie you were.
your laugh is so infectious!! thanks for a fun watch-along! try “Shallow Hal” for another great Jack Black comedy with Gwyneth Paltrow
It was very sad to read the news of the death of Kevin Clark, who played the drummer. Just 32 years old, in a bicycle accident. Joey Gaydos Jr (Zack) also faced some serious problems, being arrested four times for stealing musical instruments to buy drugs. But that's it, every band has its problems and tragedies, but the music can't stop.
As a former math teacher, yes, parents are rough. Parent teacher conferences were the worst. I taught at a title 1(poverty stricken) middle school. It was rough.
The craziest thing is that guy who plays Spider became a district attorney at a county in texas somewhere.
The thing I love is that the kids get together and have concerts years later.
This movie surprised me. I was expecting a run of the mill fish out of water comedy. I didn't expect it to have so much heart.
You're just awesome. So entertaining. Easy to watch. Thank you.
Some time back Jack brought the band cast together for a reunion. They are still great musicians and worth checking them out on the reunion video.
The reaction of Tamika’s parents at Battle of the Bands when they see her come out of her shell and rock out always chokes me up…
Love your reaction - Awesome movie!! Love your laugh!!!❤
Jack IS a great musician, mainly bc of the passion he puts in his music. When you're in the mood for some nonsensical comedy, you should try "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny". That's Jack Black in his purest form.
what I found on UA-cam today: School of Rock Reunion jam session. It's called "Long Way To The Top" - School of Rock Reunion Concert LIVE. It's from 8 years ago.
Kevin Clark (Freddie the drummer) died back in like 2011. Sad :/
This is one of my favorite movies of all time
School of Rock is an actual school that teaches children music and how to play instruments. They have them in various cities across the country and there is even one here in my area. And, they have a UA-cam channel.
They made a reunion event with most of the kids grown up and having an awesome time all toguether. And you can see how much fun they had and still have
Awesome reaction to an awesome movie…
Love your content so I subbed
Thanks Nigel for the sub! Means a lot!!!!!
Let’s mention director Richard Linklater, one of the greats of the last thirty years.👏🏼
Hear, hear! His "Before" Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite trilogies. Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, and Boyhood are all awesome as well. Kinda lost track of him over the last several years so I haven't seen any of his most recent ones.
This movie is really great, but it doesn't compare to watching it with you I have enjoyed, your commentary and laughter and join you in soul and spirit, through this journey. I couldn't even see straight from laughing so hard and tearing up with you.🤣😂😪🥰😍🥰🤩😘
Hello Ames. This was a blast!🤣
Thanks for rocking with me!
My school is about to do this musical and I got Dewey!
I hope you made yourself a screenshot from the green board diagram of History of Rock that Jack was teaching. Now you can follow it and make up on any cracks in your rock knowledge.
It’s such a good diagram!!!!
Im only going to follow because you knew the artists they were playing. I was really impressed when you knew The Doors in like the first three or four notes. Props
