The Boat that Rocked

“The Boat That Rocked” is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.

The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock – a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.

Critic Reviews:

• " Mr. Curtis has delightfully re-created that storied era, making Pirate Radio the most fun you'll have in a movie theater this year. " – Kelly Jane Torrance

• " … a perfectly enjoyable comedy that never strays beyond its playlist of colorful personalities and comic antics. " – Sean Axmaker

• " Curtis' crew, although piloting a fairly flimsy vessel, plot-wise, sure knows how to have fun, armed as they are with one of the most memorable classic-rock sound tracks this side of Forrest Gump. " – Mike Scott
