The Boat That Rocked Review

I've been trying to watch this film ever since it came out in 2008, i'm always interested in nostalgia subjects and I think the boat that rocked really does capture the history, the conterversy of the 1960's.

You've got massive amounts of euphasis on sex, rock and roll and drugs which we all know that what life was like in the 60's and it will always be fondly remember by me as the hippie age, doing drugs, and the fashion of the age. Well if you're looking for this kind of fashion and environments you've come to the right place with the boat that rocked.

If you've ever seen Run fatboy run or shaun of the dead or hot fuzz or ever kevin and perry go large, you'll feel right at home with actors in this film, some of them being small segments but the characters you'll most farmilar with, have got a decent amount of time on the big screen and you'll see them all the way throughout the film.

In the uk the film is called the boat that rocked but in the USA it's called pirate radio. If you've ever heard about pirate radio during the 60's, it was about a radio station that was broadcasting music that they didn't have a licence to play and this was extremely aganist the law but due to them being on a boat in teh middle of international waters they coudln't be prosecuted by the BBC.

This was the story of how the BBC wanted to stop pirate radio from broadcasting because they weren't getting the desired amount of listeners they wanted for their radio stations.

The boat that rocked lives up to it's name and it does definitly does rock. It's a traditionlal engish film with britash zanny humour. I recommend watching it as long if you're over the age of 15. There's many sexual references and swear words used.

I'm giving it 7 out of 10 for funny british humour, the first film to actually use the true story that happened in 1960 and gave it a script and gave it a funny and witty jokes.
