(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Page   1   B "Rock School, for all its good intentions, can only manage an entertainingly superficial look at this institution and the man who keeps it going."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C "Director Don Argott works with muddy, low-quality digital video, not compellingly edited, and doesn't dig as deep as he should."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 3/5 "The result isn't pretty -- but it does, on occasion, rock."   Film Threat   Chris Barsanti "Self-loving and foul-mouthed, Paul Green is the ideal star of his own show."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "As Hitchcock once said (Alfred, not Robyn), audiences will love anyone as long as they are good at their job and this is certainly one teacher you are not likely to forget."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Has its moments, but unlike the music Green wants his students to play, it's no classic."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "Bring back Jack Black and forget this."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat '2/4' " I dislike the tyrannical tirades and profanity-laced psychology Paul Green uses to inspire his prodigal talent."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Dewey Finn never suggested his students embrace the ways of Satan in order to play Black Sabbath covers with more gusto, but doing doesn’t seem at all out of place here."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5/4 "Green berates and insults his students to push them to work harder"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B+ "If ten-year-olds with Mohawked hair shriek Ozzy Osborne songs, what will they do to rebel, sing Guy Lombardo? "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3.5/5 "a frequently hilarious, sometimes galling portrait of one man’s attempts to uphold the flamboyant, ferocious, innovative spirit of classic rock"   Filmcritic.com   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "Often hilariously funny, with everyone shamelessly playing up to the cameras. But there's more to it."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3.5/5 "Where you'll find a bunch of raucous and talented kids, you'll find at least one glory-hungry grown-up intent on stealing the spotlight."   DVDTalk.com   Scott Weinberg A- "The film -- like Green himself -- steps back from the teacher to see the apprentices take center stage and earn their applause."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3/4 "A classroom is only as good as its student body, and School spotlights winners."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 3/4 "What makes Rock School so compelling is Green's unflinching honesty, both about himself and his students."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Page   1
