I have three movies to review that are not in theaters anymore, but I am still going to review them for your convenience!
The Rocker is a very funny movie, most of all of the reviews I have read said the movie is a rip-off from School of Rock and it is not even funny. I disagree with all of that. It is not a rip-off of School of Rock, and The Rocker is funnier!
The Rocker has more famous cameos then the main actors themselves, but the main actors in the movie are Rainn Wilson who plays Robert Fishman, who is very, very funny. Also Christina Applegate who plays Kim, who is a mother of one of the kids, is in the band. The cameos include Jason Sudeikis, Will Arnett, Fred Armisen, Jane Krakowski, and more!
The Rocker plot is pretty simple Rainn Wilson’s character gets kicked out of a band in the early 80’s and now he has a chance to become famous again because his nephews band, A.D.D., needs a new drummer. They go on the road and do gigs, but most of all, have crazy and fun stuff happening throughout. I honestly thought this was better then School of Rock. The Rocker fells more natural and real. Plus, Rainn Wilson is flippin hilarious. I know The Rocker was a box office disaster, but when it comes out on DVD or Blu-Ray give it a try because I promise you will not be disappointed.
THE ROCKER: YES
