Pirate Radio tells the tale of a group of guys who saved Rock' N Roll for England. The government didn't allow radio stations to play rock music, so a few DJ's decided to change all that. They live on a ship where 24/7 they broadcast rock music to the masses.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of the stars of the movie, is the head DJ. Along with Rhys Ifans (The Replacements) and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead) as two of the other DJ's.
I found this movie interesting for a few reasons. One reasone being, it is based on a true story. It is also exciting to know that this really did happen and it makes the movie feel a lot more enjoyable to watch.
Since this is a movie about Rock N' Roll, the music has to be phenomenal and it was. There were many times throughout the movie where they would be playing a song and the actors would be jamming out right along with it, giving you the sense that they really loved what they were doing. The music really is a great part of this movie; they play everything from Jimi Hendrix to The Beatles.
This movie isn't for everyone, the humor is a lot cruder than I thought, but I didn't mind it. The humor fits the movies, especially since about British music junkies in the 1960's. Some of the humor I found to be skewed more to British people since that is what the movie is depicting, but that could just be me.
It's a fun comedy with a lot of laughs. If you just feel like seeing something a little different, but know you want to have a good time than this is your movie.
