I can’t believe I’ve seen this movie countless times and that never once occurred to me!!!😅 would that qualify as a ‘plot hole’ or ‘goof’ in an otherwise perfect movie?

Fun Fact: The kids are actually musicians and can play their instruments. They all did a 10 year anniversary with Jack Black and they all rocked out. They also will be doing a 20 year anniversary reunion this year. Also, the part where the piano kid says, "He's not cool enough to join the band" is actually true. When kids were auditioning for the role, that kid said exactly that and that's why Jack hired him.

My son and I just met Jack Black at a mall in Atlanta a few weeks ago. He was 100% as nice, down-to-earth, and gracious as you would hope. He had no entourage, and we had about a five minute conversation (my son was wearing a Prince t-shirt, so Mr. Black talked about Prince and his guitar solo at the George Harrison tribute concert). A completely satisfying celebrity encounter.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

i feel like if there's anyone to talk about music with for hours, it'd be Jack Black

[@pointlessmanatee]

As chaotic as he is as a teacher, the best thing about this character is that he finds something for *every* kid, he's wildly excited by any tiny thing they accomplish, he pumps them up but also makes sure they actually learn the thing.... Just over all someone you *wish* could teach your kid.

[@maximillianosaben]

Many people agree this is Jack Black's best performance/role. It was just the absolute perfect fit.

[@jculver1674]

And this was made shortly after High Fidelity put him on people's radar, so to get an entire movie based around him and his personality was pretty incredible. It was a gamble, but it paid off.

[@tank4ever]

On the his GQ interview video he said after he did Orange County the writer & producer, wanted to give him a lead role, so the idea & script was written specifically to fit his personality & talents.

[@bottlerocket3218]

It was his best performance, until his performance in Bernie (2011), shows his genuine acting skills at the craft

[@jonhenry8268]

If you like Jack black I think you should watch Saving Silverman, it's a great comedic cast and another over the top storyline.

I see something making the rounds on social media that points out how he's incredibly chaotic but Dewey is so great for the kids because he's always supportive of them, gets them to embrace their talents (whatever they are) and his confidence in them begins to give them confidence.

[@Mugthraka]

True

[@DP-um1ck]

Not disagreeing.

[@phemyda94]

I love that Dewey's problem in the beginning isn't that he's immature or chaotic but that he's self-absorbed. Once he starts channeling his talents towards elevating and inspiring others, the things that made him a jerk before now make him a fantastic teacher. There's a parallel with Summer; the problem isn't that she is too bossy or an over-achiever, it's that she (like Dewey) is directing that energy towards her own self-aggrandizement. Once Summer becomes band manager and starts to direct her energy towards helping the band, her flaws become gifts. This movie is so wholesome.

[@Penguin-wm7cf]

Such a fun movie! R.I.P. Kevin Clark. One of my earliest inspirations as a kid to learn the drums.

[@ltme4134]

I was a drummer well before this movie but he was fantastic. RIP

[@crappleindusuries]

Fun fact: the way they got the rights to use Zepplin was to have the entire crowd at the battle of the bands ask and sent it to the band.

[@motorcycleboy9000]

First time Zep ever let a movie or TV show use their stuff.

[@normlee6566]

Unfortunately, the kid who played the drums later died when he was hit by a car while riding his bike (he was 32) and the kid who played lead guitar was later arrested on charges of stealing guitars and an amp. But they are immortalized for the characters they played in this film.

[@BareBandSubscription]

Man, I forgot about the drummer dying. Very sad.

[@shanezane4171]

It’s not like he’s in jail or anything though he’ll very much be a part of the reunion

[@LudusAurea]

Couldn’t care less that the kid stole guitars lol

[@whyit6158]

"WOULD YOU LIKE A HUG?!?!" is one of my favorite moments of the movie. so freakin funny. Joan Cusack reminds me so much of my aunt in this movie she has very similar mannerisms and even talks with a similar cadence

[@AdAstraMadCat]

To George's last question: I would expect this movie to be not only for kids but also for those who still have that little kid in their hearts and remember having dreams and aspirations, remember their little rebellion, and can appreciate a bit of silliness. And rock.

[@theronleague7692]

Simone asked if George thought Jack Black was a bird person. He made a movie called The Big Year, with Steve Martin and Owen Wilson, that is about him being a bird person.

[@austinwilding5359]

That movie was actually pretty decent.😊

[@Fettman89]

As much as I love Jack Black, Joan Cusack was just perfection in this lol, " Do you want a hug!!?" When I first saw this as a freshman in highschool, It made me pick up a guitar for the first time, still and off and on player now.

[@alanlynch4937]

Mike White was Jack Black's neighbor, and wrote this with him in mind. He played Ned.. White was also on the American version of The Amazing Race twice worth his dad, and on survivor(David vs Goliath) P.S. I love The Holiday

[@kbe2176]

My favourite Joan Cusack film is the one with her Brother in Grosse Pointe Blank and if you haven't seen it - You definitely need to react to it!

[@AuspexAO]

Ha ha, I just recommended this in another comment. It's such an underrated movie.

[@TharpFam073]

Fun trivia. Jack Black doesn't play guitar very well. He can do a little bit, but he's definitely not as good as even the kid he was "teaching." So when you see him playing a solo, that's dubbed. In the commentary of the School of Rock DVD, the lead guitar player told everyone that he actually had to correct Jack on a couple of the licks he "taught" the kid in the opening music scene. Also, the reason that he calls the drummer "Spazzy McGee" is there was a secondary plot line that he had really bad ADHD and would occasionally spaz out. This was eventually cut from the film, but that one reference remains.

[@brycealthoff8092]

Jack Black is a massive rock music nerd in real life and it really comes through in this movie! I definitely related when this movie came out. Also, Rule #1 of stage diving: make sure the audience cares enough about your music to catch you.

[@im-gi2pg]

I’ve seen this movie at least ten times and this is the first time I realized Joan cusak said to the little girl 6:40 “would you like a hug?” And the girl screamed!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@peeramidwithin3823]

So this is Mike Whites movie and also his idea. The pitch was Jack Black plays music with kids. That's it, thats how it started. He knew putting them together would create something good. He was spot on.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Grosse Point Blank features Joan, and John, and Ann Cusack, who also appeared in A League of Their Own.

I remember seeing Jack Black in bit parts in a lot of movies before he became popular, and he was basically like Sean Bean, because his character always died. I still remember the first time I saw his character survive thinking "he's finally made it", and sure enough within a year he was a star in Hollywood.

[@simianinc]

Mike White, who wrote and had a role in the movie also wrote the White Lotus series. Black seems to be drawing from his last film with Joan Cusack - High Fidelity - a great movie to react to

[@iram4425]

“The Holiday” is great 👍🏻 we’re here for ya Simone 🤘🏻

[@sclt2269]

Hearing you guys talk about this reminded me we actually did a whole unit in elementary school that was music history from the 50s-noughties. All our lessons were themed around it for a semester and at the end we had a performance for the school going through the decades where we all performed as different artists e.g. Aretha Franklin, Kiss, the Doors etc. Remains one of the best school projects we ever had.

[@LadyFeline3]

Okay, so you're going to watch 'The Holiday' now, right? Or at least put it on the list for the holiday season? Because that would be awesome. George must see it. That said, great reaction! This is such a fun, heartwarming movie.

Every once in a while, I say, "Cell-ooooo" because it cracks me up every time. (My niece plays cello so I'll say it to her sometimes to try to make her laugh.)

This movie was written by Mike White (Ned). He is a really sweet guy, if you get a chance you should watch the two seasons (14,16) he did on The Amazing Race with his dad. He also did a season on Survivor.

[@Divamarja_CA]

Mike White is also the creator, writer, and maybe director of White Lotus.

[@markcorl2022]

He also co-created the HBO show Enlightened, with Laura Dern, which was a pretty good show. He wrote, produced and directed on the show as well as acting in it.

[@lokephoenix1039]

Bandslam is amazing

[@chappie_nottherobot]

This movie is so awesome, but it’s definitely Richard Linklater’s most commercial hit by far. I would love to see you guys react to his earlier films like Dazed and Confused or even The Before Trilogy. I think you both would love those movies if you haven’t already watched them!

[@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087]

Do you think they'd do Slacker? Not only was it the film Linklater did that got him on the map, but it was what inspired Kevin Smith that he could self finance and be able to make Clerks.(he had read an interview with Linklater where he talked about how he was able to make the film).

[@thirtyyearoldmulberryfield]

I think Bernie would be a great film to continue with for Linklater. It still stars Jack Black while keeping Linklater’s conversational approach to filmmaking when the movie interviews the Texas locals. I am also a big fan of his animated films as well, so it would be cool to see them react to some animation outside of the typical Disney/Pixar stuff.

[@chappie_nottherobot]

@@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087 I think that would be a cool movie reaction, however I’m sure it’s not a very well known film and probably wouldn’t be viewed as much as we’d like it to be for their channel.

[@chappie_nottherobot]

@@thirtyyearoldmulberryfield Bernie is another one I’m sure would be a cool watch along, however it’s definitely a darker version of Jack Black that I’ve never seen and would be hard to sell as a reaction video. But I would be here for it nonetheless.👌🏻

Yes. Watch the Before Trilogy. Amazing.

[@alecleibensperger4869]

This is one of my favorite movies ever since I was in elementary school. I stayed home from school sick one day, and I watched this movie over and over cuz it made me feel comfortable.... must've drove my mom bat shit insane. But it'll always have a special place in my heart. It's just such a fun film to watch!

[@ayeready6050]

I've been waiting for more people to react to this film because there's so few reactions of it on KZbin and I'm so glad my favourite reactors have finally done it!

[@MrZeek1519]

Joan Cusack is always great. One movie I love that she did was with her brother, John, called "Grosse Pointe Blank". Itsw a comedy about an assassin that is getting sick of his job. Great concept.

[@robertawesome2410]

Joan Cusack is great but I think the main reason she was casted in this movie is, because her brother John Cusack did a movie before this(2000) with Jack Black called Hi Infidelity, which is another great move about record stores & music. You two should check out sometime too.

[@lillymsf5946]

I love this film not only because it has some awesome and funny moments but because it was revolutionary to kids in the early 2000s - this taught them (including myself and my brother) all about music and classics from Led Zeppelin, ACDC, The Doors, etc.

[@jimshreve83]

I love the The Holiday. I recommend watching the Cusack's in Grosse Point Blank With John as lead with Joan playing his secretary and Ann I love her dance scene and their brother Bill does a cameo. You will enjoy it, you don't even have review it which makes it better because it won't be about work Also has Minnie Driver, Dan Ackroyd, Hank Azaria, Adam Arkin and several others.

[@paulcurlin2789]

School of Rock was based on a real school called "Rock School" They have different levels of bands and players in the school. They have a video of some of their members studying and playing music by Frank Zappa and that is some complicated, quirky and beautiful stuff ♥

[@TTM9691]

17:22 - That line is from "Annie Hall", much like he's quoting the Whitney Houston song earlier. It must be Richard Linklater's Rock & Roll Movies Day! Ashleigh Burton did "Dazed And Confused" today as well! A reaction double-feature! They shot part of this movie at the club I used to work at, got to see them shoot part of the opening scene. Can't believe they pulled this movie off, it could have totally gone the other way in the wrong hands.

[@tofersiefken]

If you have not yet seen The Pick of Destiny (2006) starring Tenacious D (Jack Black & Kyle Gass) is one that I highly recommend. There is also a famous Drummer / Guitarist / Foo Fighter from Hell cameo (in a good way) that you'll want to look for.

Jack Black is hands down one of the most energetic and talented actors of this generation. He's just so much fun and seems like such a stand up human being. It's impossible to dislike him. This is probably his best role (in my opinion), but he really has the ability to stand out in any role he's in. The man is the definition of charisma.

[@nsasupporter7557]

I don’t know that I’d call him a real “actor.” Most comedians always play themselves in movies. The only ones who actually play different characters are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy. No other comedians are as versatile as them
