Review of The Boat That Rocked (2009) by Thomasl — 19 Nov 2009
This movie was not only awful but it actually p***ed my off. The sound track owes nothing to the movie and should get the only credit for whatever fake coolness this movie manages to allude to. A movie about pirate radio set in 1966 Britain that has no Beatle music (for whatever reason) and nary a joint or tab of acid is a curious caper indeed.
Pretentious twaddle about covers it. I give it one star for Tom Sturridge, young Carl, the Ray Davies look alike and one for Bill Nighy's Peter O'Toole take-off. Take my word for it, this is crap.
