Sep 3, 2018 just wonderful how a movie can be like is principal theme, rock!

Harry S Jul 24, 2018 Hoffman was awesome, but so were the rest.

Theodore P Jul 2, 2018 All the right ingredients just doesn't quite rise to the top. For fans of the ERA an enjoyable trip down MEMORY lane with a soundtrack that delivers and a bonus cameo performance from Kenneth Branagh. While the film is a litle to busy for its own good it is still worth an evening of your leisure time. See more

Poe S Jul 2, 2018 I'm amazed at the number of positive reviews that this overblown, trashy movie received. The characters are unlikeable (even the good guys), the situations are unconvincing, and the script is - theres only one word for it - stupid. People do and say things that don't make sense, and quick editing and snippets of great songs (more on that below) are used to cover it up. The humor is mostly caca-doodoo humor. It was as if the story were written by a twelve-year-old. The film delights in childish insults towards its own characters: for instance, the evil government minister farts while waiting for an elevator, and his evil assistant is named Twat - how intelligent. Its also one of those movies (becoming more and more common these days) that has no narrative arc, but lurches through about three climaxes before finally grinding to a halt. By about the middle, I was waiting for it to end, and when the credits rolled I regretted I hadn't walked out. Theres great music used in the soundtrack, but its mostly used to make undramatic and meaningless scenes appear dramatic and meaningful. The film itself actually has very little to do with music. For instance, the characters never once have a discussion about music; they're too busy lobbing childish insults at each other. The film could easily have been set in a college dormitory, with minimal changes to the script. Im genuinely angry that this film, about such an interesting and important topic as British pirate radio, was made in the way that it was, and Im sad that so many people, including professional movie critics, haven't recognized it for the wasted opportunity that it is. Perhaps in 10 years we can have a good movie or book about pirate radio. One last thing: the opening and closing credits look just like coming-attractions previews, which just about sets the tone.

Rey G Mar 18, 2018 I found this film to be refreshingly amusing, funny.

Hagrid S Dec 7, 2017 Hysterical, entertaining, action packed. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. The music is nostalgic for a movie that really gives you everything you need See more
