7 comedies with Jack Black
"School of Rock"
Comedy, musical | 3.85 out of 5 on MyShows | 2003
After a string of high-profile successes, rocker Dewey Finn's career is in shambles: he's been kicked out of his band, he's broke, his debts are mounting, and the future is bleak. Everything changes when he accidentally answers someone else's call and, having learned about a fat salary of $650 a week, pretends to be a teacher friend and gets a job at an elite private school.
With no teaching experience or concept of discipline, Dewey turns lessons into rock sessions, inspiring the kids to form a real band. Every day they get closer to their dream of winning a music competition. And if they succeed, perhaps Dewey's star will rise again. Especially with such talent on the team as 9-year-old guitarist Zach.
"It's a cool movie. Even I, a person who doesn't listen to a lot of rock, really enjoyed this movie. It's light, it's not forced, it's perfect for a weekend night. It's a pity that in our time such movies are not made anymore, I enjoyed every second of the movie, it's just an aesthetic pleasure. The atmosphere of this movie directly sets up a positive mood. It's strange that I haven't seen this movie before, in Ukrainian dubbing from 1+1 it's just a masterpiece" , — Mj23

"Shallow Hal"
Comedy, romance | 3.66 out of 5 on MyShows | 2003
Hal can't get into a serious relationship, not because of his looks, but because of his exaggerated standards, as he searches hard for an ideal. Everything changes after a strange meeting in an elevator, where a mysterious companion 'programs' him to see not the appearance, but the inner beauty of people.
Without knowing about it, Hal gets acquainted with Rosemary — smart, cheerful and, in his opinion, dazzlingly beautiful girl. He falls in love without noticing that the people around him see something else: a curvy woman who can barely fit on a chair. But what matters more to Hal is how he feels — and a story begins where looks cease to play a major role.
"Thought the movie is based on the notion that beautiful girls are only slim, necessarily thin. Which is basically true, it excludes the possibility that even overweight girl can be beautiful, and a man can be attractive and being overweight.
The hero was fixated on the appearance of girls. For him, a girl should be perfectly beautiful, and what's inside doesn't matter. And after he was indoctrinated he began to see full and not beautiful girls - slim and beautiful. In my opinion not even slim, but very thin. In fact, the hero began to see the human soul. Not only girls became more beautiful, but also guys began to look better. And not all people became beautiful. Some on the contrary look uglier than they look in reality. Even though it's not shown much. Literally 1 person in the whole movie", — GoodEdinorogue

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle"
Comedy, adventure, fantasy, action | 4.02 out of 5 on MyShows | 2017
Four teenagers unexpectedly find themselves inside the mysterious game Jumanji, where danger, wild animals, deadly traps, and tricky puzzles are around every corner. To survive and pass the game to the end, they have to take the guise of game characters: shy Spencer becomes a brutal adventurer, strong Fridge — a miniature nerd, glamorous Bethany — an elderly professor, and modest Martha — a dexterous and fearless Amazon. Now they not only have to settle into their new bodies, but also learn to work together to escape the virtual world back to reality.
"Sure, it's not the Jumanji we all know, but the duo of Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson is something!" — lmaoborghini
"I really liked the idea of bringing a classic game into the modern world. The characters turned out to be colorful and memorable, each of them perfectly fit into their role. I especially liked Dwayne Johnson - his comedic timing is just great) Graphics and action are on top, the adventures in the jungle keep you in suspense. But I thought the plot was a bit predictable in places, and lacked depth in character development", — svetikkostenko93
