The Rocker

Plot:

The Rocker tells the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert Fish Fishman is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius, who is living the rock n' roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. Twenty years after his rock star fantasies are destroyed, just when Fish has finally given up all hope, he hears that his nephew's high school rock band A.D.D. is looking for a new drummer. They reluctantly make him the newest member of the band, giving him a chance to reclaim the rock God throne he's always thought he deserved, and taking the young band along for the ride of their lives.

Review:

Decent flick. Some pretty good laughs with Dwight Schrute but then there's some bad ones that were just not going over. Overall its a good story about a guy getting a second chance -- even though he acts like an idiot most of the movie -- and a few kids getting their big break. Still entertaining. His former band is pretty funny in the first and last scenes -- some familiar faces in there. I'd check out this movie if you really like The Office but it might suck to you if you don't know who the main actor is. Also, the chick in the movie is hot even though she might be young. Just checked it. She's legal! Woohoo!

Rating: 2.5/5
