Jack Black Reflects On School of Rock's Legacy
Star Jack Black reflects on School of Rock's long-lasting legacy, crediting director Richard Linklater as the reason audiences continue to love it. Black starred in the 2003 comedy as Dewey Finn, a ne'er do well rock guitarist who has just been fired from his band and is struggling to come up with money to pay his rent before he's kicked out by his roommate and girlfriend. In an effort to make the money, Dewey poses as his roommate to be a substitute teacher at a high-class prep school and attempts to form a band with his fourth-grade students to win the Battle of the Bands competition his previous group are performing in.
