Movie Haiku:By-the-numbers comedy about a rock & roll loser redeemed through his association with a classroom full of prep school brown-nosers. No surprises, but Black’s wacky exuberance puts this in the plus column. Split decision on Cusack’s turn as the principal, but even Rich was won over by all the kids.
