The Boat That Rocked Trailers

An ensemble comedy, where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music. It's about a band of DJs that captivate Britain, playing the music that defines a generation and standing up to a government that wanted control of popular culture via the British Broadcasting Corporation. Loosely based on the events in Britain in the 60's when the Labour government of Harold Wilson, wanted to bring the pirate radio stations under control, enough to see the passage of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act on 15 August 1967. Also known as "Pirate Radio".

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Well, it's not gonna be a detailed review It's just that this movie what's all about is one of my dreams to have a rock radio channel It's a connection with others, sharing what u feel with people you really don't know, and this will lead us to the end of the movie Loyalty The same loyalty to your favorite band when you attend a concert, the same loyalty when you keep repeating a song over and over again and you feel that the writer wrote it for you and the composer and the vocal Is you The acting wasn't that great, few nonsense and unexplainable points in the scenario, but I accepted all of this because I will follow the unwritten deal between the audience and the director, he will pretend that he is not tricking me and I will pretend that he didn't :) well done, good movie and joyble one

I would rather watch paint dry. Would be more entertaining and funny. Very disappointing film for the great cast it had.

Opening scene, man in armchair with Green Bay window behind him, the green radiator in the bay window in a modern one. When the Gov boats rush out to Radio Rock (in the 1960s) they are all new high speed inflatable ribs.

Even my vision is enough to see what a strong idea inside this movie, and obviously the film crew didn't bring everything they want into the film. But it's not the only problem: That Boat That Rocked is also too long story/too boring in some moments, and I couldn't forgive it.
