4K UHD Review – Rock ‘n’ Roll High School

Director Allan Arkush goes big and broad with the feature, but he manages to avoid chaos, creating an exceedingly good-natured romp that's free enough to be silly without sliding into overkill. "Rock 'n' Roll High School" is out to provide a good time and great tunes, achieving most of its creative goals, especially when it comes to the sheer spirit of this irresistible comedy.
