　I don’t familiar about rock music, but I could enjoy this movie. First of all, needless to say Dewey was amused me, and the story was interesting vintage American movie, but above all, I thought the children were very cool. At the beginning of the film, the children were described sober and dull a little, but they began to practice rock music and then they began brilliant and revive. The children each have very individual character. I especially like Summer, because she is sincere and ambitious.
I like the scene that Dewey and Rosalie went to drink the best. Rosalie is uptight at any time in her school, but when they went to drink, she got drunk and showed her true colors. I thought she is cute at that scene.
When I finished watching the film, it interests me in rock music and I want to know about rock music more. I like the story that excited me such this movie. Even if you don’t know of rock music, you will be able to enjoy the film.
