Rock School

Burned-out, third-rate rocker starts music school for kids. Nerds, jocks, and princesses find joy and meaning and unity in their newfound desire to rock out. The hit film was, of course School of Rock, starring the gloriously second-rate rocker Jack Black; less well-known, until now, is that Black’s character was based on a real person, teacher Paul Green. Even if this documentary appears to be riding the coattails of the highly successful Hollywood version of Green’s story, it’s highly entertaining in its own right, thanks to Green’s frenetic and foul personality. Jack Black may be a spaz of the highest order, but this film shows that he actually shares this very special gift with another being. 612-825-6006; www.landmarktheatres.com
