Certainly! Here are 40 thoughts I had while watching "School of Rock" for the first time as an adult:
- I forgot how much Jack Black’s energy just bursts through the screen from the start.
- Dewey’s cluelessness about teaching is both hilarious and a little alarming.
- Wait, is this kid playing a MacBook? That’s so 2000s!
- Joan Cusack as the uptight principal never gets old.
- Dewey’s plan to fake his way through his job is reckless but so charming in a chaotic way.
- The kids’ talent is unbelievable; they should really be in a real band.
- Summer’s punk attitude is everything I needed today.
- That teacher’s pet kid is so adorable, I hope he gets a solo.
- Dewey claims to be a substitute, but he’s really a full-blown imposter.
- Is that Baby Miranda Cosgrove? She’s a superstar in the making.
- Dewey’s way of “teaching” is basically just letting the kids do what they’re naturally good at.
- The classroom scene with the kids improvising is pure genius.
- Dewey’s rule about “no homework” and “rock first” is a perfect formula.
- Oh no, Dewey’s getting kicked out! Battle of the Bands is everything now.
- Joan Cusack’s line about suing is so relatable—just do it!
- That kid with the MacBook looks so serious about his music.
- I love how Dewey is pretty terrible at discipline but somehow manages to connect with the kids.
