School of Rock/YMMV

• Awesome Music: A prime example.
  • It is a movie about rock and roll afterall, special mention goes out to the band's performance at the end.
  • A highlight of the soundtrack is Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. Not just because its an awesome song, but the sheer fact that its in the movie is a CMOA for the cast and crew, as they were able to convince the band (who is famously stingy about licensing their music) to let them use the song.
• Funny Moments: Summer: I read about groupies. They're sluts, they sleep with the band!
  • Principal Mullins: I've just been informed, that all of your children are missing. *shrug*
  • The kids faking having terminal illnesses. That is all.
  • "You are a fat loser and you have body odour!"
  • Billy continuing to snipe at Dewey even after he declared the trash-talking session over.

Billy: You're tacky and I hate you.
Dewey: Alright, you see me after class!

• • "I have been touched by your kids, and I'm pretty sure I've touched them."
• Heartwarming Moments: The encore at the concert. School! Of! Rock! School! Of! Rock!
• Moment of Awesome: Ned's has to come when he walks out on his crazy-ass girlfriend just as she's shouting at him to try standing up for himself.
• Role Association: When we say Jack Black and Miranda Cosgrove, chances are that you'll think of this movie.
• Straw Man Has a Point:
  • Ned's girlfriend, when you really think about it. Dewey has been bumming at their place for months if not years, while continually refusing to get a steady job and therefore doing little to contribute to the rent. Ned keeps doing whatever he can to accommodate him because they were in a band years ago, while his girlfriend is just supposed to put up with this. It doesn't change the fact that she's an out-of-control crazy bitch who seems to take joy in Dewey's suffering, but anyone would be frustrated by that point.
  • The fact of the matter is that most aspiring rock stars, no matter how committed they are to their dreams of music stardom, will not succeed and will have to find some other means of paying the bills. It's not because their drive wasn't strong enough, simply that at some point, reality sets in and you have to find a way to provide the basic necessities for yourself.
