After being kicked out of his rock band and on the verge of being kicked out of his flat, incompetent slacker Dewey Finn impersonates his flatmate to take a job as a substitute teacher in a strict academy, where he trains his pupils in rock music appreciation and prepares them for participating at an upcoming Battle Of The Bands music competition.
Armed with a kick-ass soundtrack and an exuberant performance from Jack Black, it's easy to ignore how wanton and unethical the plot actually is. Just go with it and enjoy.
