The Boat That Rocked
A feel good movie - Siobhan L
The basic story is that of a boat full of fun and music loving DJs. A young lad joins their group and moves from boyhood while onboard. On the other side of the fence is the government - full of squares who advocate short hair cuts. It is peppered full of boppy songs that get your heart pumping. All the lads are totally cool - Hoffman in particular. No deep thoughts involved

uttterly enjoyable! - meohmy
If you're looking for a documentary turn back! This is a fantastic, romanticised rememberance of the days of Radio Caroline. And why not, 'based on the truth' stories far too often get bogged down... MORE

Give it a chance- maybe. - Eric Gallagher
The Boat That Rocked is a tough call to make, as on one hand you have a lot of good actors, yet on the other hand you are left with what feels like a clip show with no actor taking the lead. That... MORE
