Top of the Otts Movie Countdown #16: School of Rock


16. School of Rock – Jack Black spent most of the decade on a bitter crusade to prove he was not funny or talented. From the parapets of Nacho Libre and King Kong, he can look out on the holyland of unfunny as his, while he chooses to keep it. Which is all a shame because, when he’s got a guitar in his hand, he can be really funny. Tenacious D is too lazy and unfocused but at least the passion is there. Forced into the confines of School of Rock, he explodes across a rockless decade with all of his pent up worship of thrashing. You’re not hard core unless you live hard core. B.C. is not hard core.
