His real identity is revealed, and he is fired from the school, though he runs first due to misconstrued words.
However, during a parent-teacher night in which he meets the students' parents, Ned appears and confronts Dewey (due almost entirely to his girlfriend's persuasion of coaxing it out of him). With Summer's help prior, Dewey persuades the Battle's managers by lying that the students are all terminally ill with "stick-it-to-da-man-niosis", a fictional rare blood disease, and out of compassion, they allow the students to perform in the Battle of the Bands. Finally, the kids audition for the Battle of the Bands, which Dewey told them was their "school project." They are turned back because they show up too late. When the principal meets with him to check on their progress, Dewey attempts to revive any old love for rock he finds in her, by finding out she likes Stevie Nicks and playing her song " Edge of Seventeen" on a jukebox. In addition, during a montage, the drummer, Freddy, is seen watching footage of the famous drum battle between Buddy Rich and Ed Shaughnessy.ĭewey watches as his students begin to discover the power of rock music.

He decides to turn his temporary job into what he tells them is a special class project, but is actually a personal one: to turn a classroom full of kids into a rock band and crew, complete with a ten-year-old manager, a girl called Summer ( Miranda Cosgrove) which will serve as a vehicle to stardom, ultimately to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands, where he is out to avenge his eviction from his old band.Īfter realizing that most of the kids are into pop and contemporary music, Dewey turns the school days into lessons of rock history and music playing, exposing his students to those artists he regards as rock legends. However, one day he overhears the kids playing in music class and realizes that some of the kids in the class have musical talent. Desperate for cash to avoid getting evicted, Dewey gets the idea to impersonate Ned and take the job as a substitute teacher for the fifth-grade class.ĭewey's only goal as a teacher is to expend as little effort as possible. Dewey feels forced to give up his passion until he intercepts a phone call to Ned from the principal, Rosalie Mullins, ( Joan Cusack) of Horace Green Elementary, a highly prestigious prep school, asking Ned to fill in for a teacher who had been in an accident and would be out for several weeks. Ned suggests selling one of his guitars instead, but Dewey is disdainful of this idea ("Would you tell Picasso to sell one of his guitars?"). His nerdy roommate Ned Schneebly ( Mike White), a former rock musician who had left his past behind and became a substitute teacher, threatens Dewey with eviction under heavy pressure from Ned's overbearing girlfriend Patty Di Marco ( Sarah Silverman) unless Dewey "gets a real job" and pays off his growing rent debt of $2,200. ĭewey Finn ( Jack Black), a flamboyant and hyperactive hard rock singer and guitarist, is unanimously voted out of his band "No Vacancy" by the rest of the members for his arrogance and frequent stage antics of stage dives and 20-minute guitar solos, which had just caused them to be fired from the club they were performing at the previous night. The film was well-received by critics, gaining a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and was number 98 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". The film was written specifically for Black by Mike White and directed by Richard Linklater.
