The Rocker Reviews
Great movie funny , good music and just a fun ride the whole way through.
This movie rocks! rock on!
it's fine, but not much more than that. there were a lot of flaws, such as the video games in every scene obviously being faked, continuing to move when the player had set down the controller, as well as a lot of very obvious lip syncing. the climax of the movie involves a fiasco where the antagonist band is caught lip syncing and flops a performance, which angers the fans. this did not make for an effective climax because the entire movie was being faked in the first place. it seems that for the antagonist band, the trio of cast members were probably hired for very limited screen time due to being A list actors, so we basically don't see bradley cooper at all for instance. the lead singer twink guy wasn't cool and their music was some jonas brothers nonsense, but the movie isn't nearly as bad as it's being rated - probably at least 65% in my book
Pretty cut and dry goofball movie. Fairly dated given the scene clothes and constant Myspace references. It grows on you; imagine a Disney Channel original movie written by the Farrely Brothers.
The funniest mockumentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great movie. I avoided it for a while because I wasn't in the mood for Jack Black (Blame the thumbnail), but it was not only very funny, but deep and heartwarming.
The Rocker takes zero shots in differentiating itself and relies far too much on Rainn Wilson to carry the lackluster script. Unfortunately Wilson isnt up to the task and the comedy simply rolls along much more than it ever rocks.
Such a great movie. Laughed all the way through this. Plus the music rocked.. I was in a High School band and this brought back memories for me. This was before the internet. Wish we were around now with access to the net.
A unoriginal story that can be predictable at times but Rainn Wilson does well and can be funny when he really wants to be. Watching Rainn Wilson's performance he took his character Dwight Schrute from The Office and Jack Black's character from School of Rock mixed together
Excellent Movie. Not meant to be for the stupid Oscars. Its just plain fun, and funny. If you know anything about rock, then you will like this movie, of if you like the sitcom the office.
My 14 year old son and I LOVED this movie tonight We cannot believe it did so poorly in the box office. We laughed all the way through it and cried a little too. The cast did a great job!!
LOVE this flick, it’s so campy and fun! A must see for your budding musicians or anyone who ever wanted to be a rock star!
4/13/18 We thought this was quite funny. TONS of famous people in this film. I don't care much about the story in a comedy, as long as it is funny. There are a lot of funny parts, so it gets a good rating from me.
Bland or not, sometimes lightweight with a dash of this specific humor is entertaining and makes you feel lighter :)
