MR2-2 School of rock

I had never watched it before. It was a very interesting story. The main characters are Dewey Finn, Ned Schneebly, Patty Di Marco, Rosalie Mullins, and children.
Dewey is a man who loves rock music. And he lives with Ned and Patty. He always thinks of rock and doesn’t work. So he can’t pay the rent to Ned.
Ned is a friend of Dewey. He is so kind that he can’t say anything Dewey strongly. He works as a substitute teacher.
Patty is the girlfriend of Ned. She is often angry with Dewey because he doesn’t pay the rent for the house and doesn't work.
Rosalie is the principal of Horace Green Elementary. She is a very severe woman for the job. The school is a noble school. So the children are smart.
Dewey was a guitarist and he had a band. But he suddenly was fired from the band. His performance was so crazy that his partners were disgusted by him. And he came back home, he was told by Ned and Patty to pay rent. He had fallen behind several months. He was depressed and decided to find new work but didn’t. At home, he intercepts a phone call to Ned from the principal, Rosalie. She asked Dewey, who she thinks is Ned, to fill in for a teacher who had been in an accident. He would be out for several weeks. He accepted it.
Dewey decided to pretend to be Ned. He goes to school. Rosalie doesn’t note anything is wrong. His name is Mr. S. The children are so smart and clever. He doesn’t teach any studying and says them to take a rest all the time. At music class, he is surprised because the children are good at playing instruments. Dewey comes up with an idea that he takes part in the Battle of the Bands with the children to win the prize and be recognized in the show business. So he makes a band called “School of rock”. There is a guitarist, a chorus, vocals, drums and so on. Of course he plays the vocal. They are each given a role. He changed their classes. They want to study and get a star seal because they want to raise their grade. But he lets them practice each instrument. They practice hard. As home work they have to listen to rock music. The more they practice, the more they enjoy. Finally they are a good team. Before the day of battle of rock, a report of education is held. And he admits that he isn’t Ned. Patty and the real Ned call the police. The children and their parents are surprised. He is very shocked as he can’t take part in battle with children. Next day, children pick up Dewey by school bus. They can take part in the battle of rock and they enjoy playing t rock. A child makes a song which is about the fact that they are tired of studying. They can’t get the prize but audience calls for an encore from the school of rock. They are a success for their performance.
I think it’s a very interesting movie. First I don’t like Dewey but finally I want to cheer for him. I want to teach his class. And I want to try to play some instruments. (557words)
