I am a movie lover and took advantage of the Pre-Screening in my area. I went in not expecting much from this film. I thought..."It's free anyways". And I'm a fan of "Dwight", so I brought my wife with me.
The movie moved at a good pace. I never looked at my watch once. It was REALLY funny! I hadn't laughed so much at the movies in a long time! I highly recommend this film to everyone. Especially the people who are into bands :) The cast was great. They were all believable. And it ended well. I wasn't expecting more. And the ending made you feel good. And those of you saying it's a ripoff or "School of Rock"...IT'S NOT! It may kind of the same background...Guy kicked out of band...joins kid band...but it's different in it's own way.
P.S...you get to see lots of Rainn Wilson's butt in the movie...Naked Drummer!
