SOMETIMES IT WAS COOL TO SEE THE KIDS LEARN AND HANG OUT, BUT GENE SIMONS GIVES ME THE CREEPS, SO I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE IT.

It's rated R because every fourth word is a swear word, but if you can get past that - - and momentarily accept semi-authoritarian style teaching, it's not a bad watch. Love the soundtrack for sure!

Very interesting film, but I don't agree with the instructors use of screaming and throwing temper tantrums to motivate his music students.

I saw this after School of Rock - the guy that runs this school is definitely no Jack Black. I am not sure I would want my kids hanging around this guy - a little too intense for me.

MCT:April 8, 2007Interesting...kids swearing through the whole movie, not cool at all but a great idea for kids to follow their dreams

This is a good documentary about how children can better themselves through heavy metal and verbal abuse. All joking aside, this was kind of hard to watch. I just wanted to punch the teacher-dude in the face. The redeeming feature of this movie was the jaw-dropping talent of the kids in the movie. It was so gratifying to see an original Mother of Invention drop to his knees as a ten-year-old plays Zappa's tunes.

MCT:December 6, 2006Not to be confused with the recent Jack Black comedy "School of Rock," this documentary chronicles the struggle of one man to run the nation's first conservatory for aspiring rock and rollers, with students ranging in age from 9 to 17. In terms of tone, I was reminded of the excellent "American Movie," another film that chronicled one man's quest to achieve an unlikely dream, and "Rock School" is both hilarious and inspiring, culminating in a jaw-dropping sequence in which our heroes and his pupils fly to Germany to headline a Frank Zappa festival, backed by members of Zappa's original band. Wow... these kids can *rock*.

An funny and entertaining documentry as we watch a group of 7-17 year old kids being teached on to become rock stars by Paul Green, who is both a dickhead and compassionate teacher roled into one (kinda like some I knew when I was in school). Worth a watch 'cause some the kids are really talented musicans.

MCT:September 16, 2006It's good, but I also found it extremely stressful to watch as the teacher screams at and threatens teenagers. Rock is fun, rock is not supposed to be something you overachieve at.

Was a mess of a film. While i liked some of the kids... some of the others bugged me... the girl in it is on myspace and she's quite a sweetheart
but yeah no... not that great...
dont' get it confused with School of Rock (though this was filmed first) -

At first i thought it was the stupidest movie ever but then i started getting into it and didn't think it was that bad. Not my favorite movie in the world but okay.

rock school was pretty boring...i didn't like the apethetic attitude about values and religion that he had because it was rubbing off on these kids...it just wasn't fair...there was a quaker girl in his class and she was involved in this group of friends that playfully rapped modern hymns and because of her teacher making fun of it she stopped participating in it....i just didn't like how arrogant and obnoxiously mean he was
i had to turn the movie off! -

Paul Green - the creator and all round crazy person of the school - is an interesting study and it's great seeing teenagers play Zappa. It's just a shame the documentary feels like a rush job to get in on whole 'Rock School' craze.

Interesting Documentary ... the kid on the guitar plays far better than i can. I guess Paul Green is right, people don't practice and they are lazy.
