"School of Rock" Movie Review

"School of Rock" is a film perfect for viewers of all ages.   Although rock music is a big part of this film, you don’t have to be a fan of rock music to enjoy this film because the characters each go through interesting positive transformations by gaining confidence, believing in themselves, and gaining selflessness through the art of music.
