This hilarious musical comedy follows Dewey Finn, a free-spirited rock musician who cons his way into a fifth-grade substitute teacher role and secretly transforms his class into a rock band. Parents should be aware of some mild thematic elements related to rebellion and a few instances of language typical for a PG-13 rating, but the film ultimately champions creativity and self-expression. This movie is best enjoyed by kids aged 9 and up.
