Jack Black stars as a rock guitarist who refuses to grow up
and become an ostensibly responsible person. When his band dumps him and his
roommate threatens to kick him out if he doesn't pay his share of the rent, he
masquerades as a 4th grade substitute teacher and gets a job at a snooty prep
school. There, instead of following the curriculum, he keeps his class
entertained with rock history and music lessons and tries to recruit a
9-year-old guitar prodigy for an upcoming "battle of bands" contest. Also with
Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman, Mike White and Kevin Alexander Clark. Directed by
Richard Linklater. [1:48 - PG-13]
