The Boat That Rocked

The Boat That Rocked (2.0/5)
(Director/writer: Richard Curtis)
Dendy Cinema, Circular Quay, Sydney
12th April 2009

A critical moment in music radio history - the end of pirate radio and beginning of BBC Radio 1. Curtis and his ensemble cast brilliantly portray an eclectic mix of stereo-typical DJ's. That, and a few good gags, is sadly all there is. A weak story isn't helped by peculiar editing into a series of loosely connected sketches. Whilst, legendary 60's music goes to waste in a contrived soundtrack.
