The Boat That Rocked
When a group of rebellious deejays decides to defy the ban on government-censored music, they take to the seas to broadcast music and mayhem to millions of adoring fans.
What critics thought
Critics were broadly lukewarm on Richard Curtis's love letter to pirate radio, with the film's excessive length drawing the most consistent fire across publications. There's genuine warmth and some effective moments, but most reviewers felt the loosely assembled comedy couldn't sustain its runtime, and at least one took issue with the film playing fast and loose with history.
