The Boat That Rocked (15)

Well acted, well cast, really funny, good photography. Were you lot watching the same film? I was around then and this brought it all back. Many depictions of real incidents. JW was called 3 minute Walker I seem to remember. Had trears running, you are right the cast seemed to have been enjoying making the film. And that is why it will be viewed as a classic in years to come. Watch it again is my advice. Even if you were not around in the 60's you will really enjoy the naive innoncence of the establishment. But they changed the world of radio for ever.

this film is not crap it is amazing on of the best laughs ive had watching a movie. everyone in the cinema was is fits of laughter go see the movie its fab fab fab

I thought this film was dreadful and ended up walking out of it after an hour. I usually love Richard Curtis movies but there was no real plot going on. The best part was the music which was sensational. It was school boy at best and absolute rubbish at worst.

This film is NOT: amazing, fun, hugely entertaining, a laugh This film IS: crap, crap, crap I'd advise you not to see it for yourself. Believe all the reviews and save your money. That's what most people have done, hence the atrocious box office takings for this Curtis crapfest. TBTR has fallen into sixth place this week, taking less that £0.5m. A shocking financial disaster, a shocking cinematic disaster.

I can't believe that any positive reviews are actually genuine - this film sucked. It more than sucked. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than go and see it for a second time. Whether or not it's an accurate reflection of the 1960s is irrelevant - this turd cannot be polished. I hope Richard Curtis invested his own money in this titanic flop and that he's forced to see out his days working in Blockbuster watching as customers don't rent this film.

This is an amazing film, you just need to see it for what it is... this is NOT a serious look at the issue of pirate radio in the 60s, nor is it an accurate relfection of life as it (apparently) was back then. What it IS, however, is a hugely entertaining, light-hearted film that doesn't take itself too seriously. The music is fantastic, of course, and the cast perfect. It's a film, guys, and it's purpose is to entertain, which is does! It's a comedy, it's a laugh, it's not a documentary on pirate radio. Watch it, have a laugh, embrace the spirit of the film - it's the 60s after all!

Having read the reviews I decided against seeing the film but then a friend applauded it so I decided to see for myself. If you were born between the 50's and 60's and had a 'social life' this film has music that went to your heart in your teens - it was fun and worth seeing !

Just as well I did not listen to the critics...I enjoyed the film from beginning to end, and it brought back all those years, as if it was yesterday! This is the way I remember it , Folks, A must for those who were there (and those who wonder about the sixties!) All in all very good entertainment

After around five minutes watching this dross I wanted the entire cast to drown. Where was that ice-berg when I wanted it? I naturally had to drown my sorrows afterwards which directly led to me being sick in the toilet at work three times this morning. A bitter after taste indeed.

Appalling. Illiterate and lunatic, I fear Claire.
