While Jack Black deservedly gets most of the credit, it’s director Richard Linklater’s work with a gaggle of youngsters that makes the difference between success and failure. - Brian Webster

A breath of fresh air for Hollywood comedies, providing proof that intelligent comedies can still make money if they’re made of the right ingredients. - Derek Smith
