| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
School Of Rock Movie Rating:  Outstanding | |
| Wanna-be rock star Dewey Flynn (Jack Black) hits a stumbling block on the road to success when his band fires him. Forced to find a day job, he steals the identity of his roommate, Ned (Mike White), a substitute teacher, and accepts an assignment at a ritzy private school. Discovering a class of musical prodigies, Dewey tosses out their textbooks and begins grooming the fifth-graders for a star-making battle of the bands. | |
| Director Richard Linklater's spot-on comedy, written by White, simultaneously celebrates and hilariously lampoons rock 'n' roll cliches. The kids, real musicians all, are appealing as they embrace their inner AC/DC, while the pugnacious Black is, for once, more endearing than obnoxious. With a thundering, irresistible soundtrack, this is a movie with a genuine rock 'n' roll heart. |
