The Boat That Rocked

[Chris71]

Saw this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. The somewhat cliched music and spontaneous dance outbrakes may take it a little close to Austin Powers on occasions, but they do give it a suitably, er, groovy feel. Best new film I've seen in ages.

Agree - saw it last Sunday and really enjoyed it. Shame there was only me and Mrs DC and 5 other people in the cinema...

Great cast helped...

Cheers

Saw it the other week and thought it was brilliant - very funny script, great cast and good acting.

The young guy in it will probably have a decent career ahead of him.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant, effortlessly cool in this film.

I must say, as much as i usually like Bill Nighy, his one character which he plays is starting to wear a little thin now....

Worth the cinema visit, or wait until it comes out on torrent DVD?

I thought it was OK but only really picked up in the last hour. Not sure whether Richard Curtis should bother with directing again, better off sticking to scriptwriting methinks.

[SJobson]

It's never going to be remembered as one of Curtis' finer moments, but it was enjoyable - mainly because it was well acted and the little snippets of people dancing were quite good. The story was barely there.
