In "School of Rock," Hale plays Marta, the giggly blonde girl with the pigtails, that sings as one of the three backup vocalists, and performs with the band "School of Rock" at the explosive finale. She also has an amusing scene at the very end, when she and Jack Black, while singing together with the rest of the band, cross the fourth wall, acknowledging that "the movie is over", while the credits are still rolling.
