The Rocker
"Notable actors"
Genre
The Rocker. I was blown away by this film! Never really had any expectations for a movie about some 4o something year old guy playing with his nephews high school band but I laughed my butt off through out the entire thing!
Robert "Fish" Fishman (Wilson) is a miserable, middle aged man who never really grew up. He got dumped by his bandmates just as they were getting ready to make it big in the rock world. He was thrown on his behind by the band he put together and named ( Vesuvius) and they even tried killing him when he seeked revenge and found to their dismay "he can't be killed!"
About 2o years later Fish is a s bitter as ever and Vesuvius is still going strong with platinum albums, world tours and magazine covers. Fish has vowed never to play again but in a fateful chain of events, (losing his job and girlfriend and home) he ends up staying with his sisters famliy Including his plain looking and no presonality nephew, Matt. Matt and his friends (Stone and a nobody) need a drummer for their prom gig. Fish agrees to play with them and claims it is only a one time thing.
Although in real life it may be kinda creepy to have old man playing with these teens its cute how he connects with them and backin love with Rock n Roll. Soon and unlikely as ever the kids gain exposure after a naked youtube video leeks and they hit the road to tour. They journey the country with hopes for making it big and Fish some how learns to finally grow up even after running into his former bandmates!
Thankfully the music wasn't lame. The Rocker had a rockin' soundtrack and all the music through the film was great; witty and catchy and made the film even cooler! I even caught myself singing some lyrics after the movie was over.
Wether or not your bitter about what your friends have done to you, or your an adult who never grew up, or you"ve always wondered "what if?" I recomend this movie highly, even if your not a fan rock its a fun and funny movie and it may surprise you.
