To celebrate School of Rock's 20th anniversary, Paramount has put out a limited edition SteelBook that is an easy recommendation for fans.
“Jack Black stars as a hell-raising guitarist with delusions of grandeur,” reads the synopsis. “Kicked out of his band and desperate for work, he impersonates a substitute teacher and turns a class of fifth grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock and rollers. Joan Cusack portrays the principal of the private school where Black is prepping the kids for a Battle of the Bands”
In the two decades since the release of School of Rock, we’ve seen a Broadway musical and a television show air on Nickelodeon. The longevity is impressive, and it’s pretty easy to see why when rewatching the movie. There’s a lot of heart at the core, as Black’s Dewey Finn truly begins to care for his misfit band of private school students, who all bond over learning how to play classic rock.
None of the special features here are new and are comparable to previous releases, but there are a number of worthwhile ones. The best special feature is the commentary track featuring Black and Linklater, who work together well as Linklater gives some great insight into the production, and Black is as entertaining as ever.
As for the SteelBook, it’s a nice red and black design with the front featuring Black rocking out with the children in the background. The back cover features the School of Rock emblem that looks great, while the inside features an image of Dewey Finn teaching the different types of rock music, from psychedelic rock to heavy metal. It’s a really nice package, although I wish the disc had a design.The School of Rock Blu-ray SteelBook is a fun way to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary.
