The Boat That Rocked (2009) 5/10

Starring : Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Nick Frost
Director : Richard Curtis
Running Time : 129 mins

In this true story, a group of DJs in 1960s Britain set up a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea, much to the anger of authorities. Their aim – to play real music that the youth of Britain want to hear, as an alternative to the government enforced classical music that was all that they allowed to play on the radio.

I didn’t enjoy this movie at all. Normally Richard Curtis movies have some fun character interplay and some witty banter to make you chuckle at least once, but this pretty much had nothing. Fans of Richard Curtis might want to avoid this as it sullies his otherwise good name.
