The world s least-employable heavy metal guitarist is entrusted with the minds of upstate New York s best and brightest in this fish-out-of-water comedy. Jack Black plays Dewey Finn axe-bearer for a fitfully successful bar band determined to win a regional battle-of-the-bands competition. There s only one thing standing in their way: the self-indulgent solos and crowd-diving antics of their embarrassing lead guitarist. When his band votes him out in favor of a would-be rock god Dewey has to make the rent somehow and after intercepting a call for his substitute-teacher roomie Ned (Mike White) the pot-bellied slacker finds himself in front of a class of elite elementary school students. At a loss for a lesson plan Dewey takes offense at the pre-teen prodigies staid musical regimen and makes it his goal to preach them the gospel of The Who Led Zeppelin and AC/DC -- with the ulterior motive of getting them to compete against his former band for a cash prize. But no matter how willing his pupils Dewey runs up against the consternation of the school s stern headmistress Principal Mullins (Joan Cusack) the battle-of-the-bands promoter (Frank Whaley) and not least his identity-deprived roomie Ned.
