It’s 1966 – pop music’s finest era – and a bunch of ramshackle DJs play rock & pop 24 hours a day, broadcasting from Radio Rock, an infamous pirate radio ship in the North Sea. On board arrives 18 year old Carl, who is instantly plunged into a series of hilarious and life-changing adventures and misadventures. His mother thought the boat would straighten him out – spectacular mistake!

The Boat That Rocked review by Jawbreaker
Homage To The Music

Richard Curtis should know better, or at least how to supply an entertaining experience. Sadly the Boat that Rocked is a shambolic affair, complete with a talented cast who are underused. Most scenes seem to feature a record being played, a witty DJ quote and then cutting to the British public dancing to the music. Such an approach does not make for a decent film. The pirate radio period warrants a documentary to capture the essence and radical nature of the period. The approach of Curtis trying to fashion a film on this topic is little more than a homage, with only the great tunes spurring the viewer on. I would have preferred a braver attempt from Curtis, why not an actual musical than this shabby self indulgent mess?
