The Boat That Rocked is packed with the cream of the British acting crop as it stars the likes of Rhys Ifans, Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh and Nick Frost.
The film takes us back to the swinging 60’s and to a time where pirate radio was unbelievably popular, with one radio station in particular, Radio Rock, broadcasting to an immense fan base live from the North Sea.
Carl (Tom Sturridge) is sent to join the DJ crew by his mum Charlotte (Emma Thompson) after being kicked out of school but, far from being straightened out by working at sea, Carl is swept along in the fun and adventure that is Radio Rock’s life of 24 hour non-stop rock and pop shenanigans.
Radio Rock doesn’t come without its problems though as Government Minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) and his new recruit Twatt (Jack Davenport) make ruthless attempts to shut down the pirate station and bring an end to the joy their broadcasting brings to listeners all over the UK.
The Boat That Rocked is everything you would expect of a great British comedy with its unique humour, a superb cast and an unusual and exciting plot that keeps you entertained from start to finish.
This film will definitely float (or rock) your comedy boat and is a must see if you fancy a laugh this Spring.
