Have you seen the knee-slapping 2003 comedy School of Rock,
where Jack Black teaches a bunch of nerdy students at an elite school
how to rock-and-roll? Well, here're the real-life version of that
movie.

This very funny documentary shows you a school in Philadelphia
called the Paul Green School of Rock Music where its eccentric founder
Paul Green teaches his young students about rock heroes like Janis
Joplin, Frank Zappa and Led Zeppelin. His amusingly motley bunch
of students range from a Quaker folk singer to a death-obsessed
bassist, and this gives rise to a lot of comic moments. Paul is
fun, encouraging, mad and inspiring all at once �X which incidentally
are also adjectives that describe this movie.

These recent years have seen the phenomenal growth in the popularity
of documentaries, March of the Penguins, Spellbound
and Bowling for Columbine have delighted many mainstream
movie-goers. Rock School should do the same.
