Description

Rainn Wilson (TV’s The Office) drums up huge laughs in this hilarious comedy about living in a rock ‘n’ roll dream...and waking up in a midlife crisis. Twenty years after being kicked out of his now famous ’80s hair band, retired rocker Robert Fishman (Wilson) gets a hilarious second chance at stardom and must pull out all the stops to reclaim the rock-god throne he always thought he deserved!

    In rebuttal to a few of the narcoleptic reviewers. People, like myself who lived out their teens in the Eighties are not Boomers. The guy who talks about not knowing how to direct, I would believe that in his own lack of skills not Director of The Rocker, Peter Cattaneo (Full Monty) he would be justified. I work in the Motion Picture industry, and Peter Cattaneo does an admirable job on this movie. Rain Wilson (80's Rocker 'Fish' going through a midlife crisis)) is great and so are the other teen actors. The great thing about this movie is it is Family Friendly (besides a butt shot and a whispered J.C word), but keeps a sharp edge to the humor and drama all the way through. Has a great moral, but doesn't come off as being sappy because ultimately it is a success story one that makes you fall in love with the characters, as well as the story.

    Halfhearted directing, weak acting, unrelatable characters and an awful story. If you're smart enough to read iTunes reviews before renting a film, you're too smart for this one. I'm going to track down Rainn Wilson at a Coffee Bean and ask for my $3 back. I didn't even make it halfway through this thing.
  • I love this movie
