"Cuz if you shoot a bullet, someone dies. When you drop a bomb, many die. You hit a woman, love dies. But... if you say the f-word, nothing actually happens."
Slammed by critics, presumably due to their bias against director Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill), this i...( read more)
This movie is pretty amazing. i love Bill Nighy. and Jack Davenport is in this too (Norrington from PotC).
seen, was good, i enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole cast! great cast, mostly english LOVE IT
The plot is basically paper thin, but it's very funny and the soundtrack is fab.
its nice movie, don't expect anything before watching it... u won't be bored. Acting and expression are very nicely picked up by the director.
The only criticism I have is that the deleted scenes should have been included in the film. Richard Curtis has a gift for making films that take you through this maze of emtions and by the end of them make you feel giddy.
Great music and a good cast of odd Englishmen. The "rock'n'roll" is banned on radio concept is overblown and really insignificant in my opinion because rock music was alive and thriving not only in the UK but especially the US, the biggest market. Richard Curtis is a great writ...( read more)
When I was a kid, we would occasionally have nights when my mom was extra tired or in a hurry or just wanted a simple meal, and we?d have apple slices and cheese for dinner. It tasted really good and was actually pretty healthy. But it wasn?t a complex flavor, just something yo...( read more)
This British comedy, released in Europe as The Boat That Rocked, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, and Kenneth Branagh. The story, inspired by true events, is about a group of DJs living together on a boat in the middle of the Northern Atlantic in...( read more)
I haven't seen enough info about this film so im not quite sure if it's a yes or no.
this movie was a bit dumb
and pordictble but difently
fun and enjoyable. this a
great light and fun movie
That was a very good movie, full of good music, some romantic issues,funny and a tricky nice plot..i recommend it to every adult here..good music is to be heard..
Nice quirky little flick this, decent British line up of the usual top funny people and Hoffman adding an American touch of class. Its a nice film with a great oldies soundtrack but its also alittle dull, nothing too much happening throughout really, just nice musical montages an...( read more)
Great Rock and Roll movies are hard to come by. Though there are a few expectations-"Almost Famous",and "High Fidelity"-most films revere the genre through character nomenclature and an overabundance of rock references,and in the process forget to be movies. Richard Curtis' "Pira...( read more)
Once you come to terms with it's freestyle storytelling (mostly just being a series of events until the inevitable conclusion), you'll enjoy your time with the quirky and often hilarious characters of this ambitious farce, played with great energy by notables such as Phillip Seym...( read more)
i loved love actually, so i'm thinking, this would have the same effect on me.
I don't get where this movie isn't scoring points. I just have to say that it's probably just over some people's heads. Subtlety is a lost art form and it pains me to see it not being appreciated. I had the privilege to see The Boat That Rocked original UK version. After r...( read more)
Well, could this be the day that I return to my old tricks of reviewing flicks while I wait with anticipation for Dexy to take up face on my telly? Perhaps it is!!

Okay, now what really drew me to this movie was not the amazing stellar cast that they chose...( read more)
Gavin Cavanagh: Here's a rather long record. I hope I'm here at the end of it.
A very sitcomy, ensemble comedy that makes a fictitious, funny, but uneven story out of actual events. The cast features Capote, Davy Jones, Sgt. Butterman, Hamlet, Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff, and Murray...( read more)
This movie was hilarious, my dad who was around said it was pritty much what it was like back then. He loved it.
Pirate radio? Emmm... no thx.
I'd say doing pirate music would've been more edgy...
Decent. Not as much of a political/historical movie as I'd hoped, but fun, seemed to portray the message of pirate radio well enough. Although the Titanic-ness of the ending kinda ruined that part for me.
Went to see this with my roommate last night, and it was the best movie I've seen ever!!!!!! Its funny, smart, silly, and suspenseful. Its a must see for everyone, and the soundtrack is amazing! Superb cast as well.
Predictable ending, but thoroughly entertaining on its way to the ending.
the Polynesian Pirate off of maui hawaii had the real experience too. great music without censoring is wonderful.
