This could be considered a companion piece to THE SCHOOL OF ROCK (also a great film). A drummer gets booted from his up and coming band in the late 1980s and now 20 years later, he gets another chance-to play in... Full review

Well, I will say there were some funny lines in this movie and the only reason I saw it was because it had Rainn Wilson who plays Dwight on the Office. I felt like it really had no point but that... Full review

I was very surprised with this movie. I went in hesitant because of the recent movies I've seen and did not expect this to be as good as it's trailers... It was a good movie. Very entertaining!... Full review

I thought this movie was hilarious. It was not a typical Rainn role, but I thought he did very well. The movie was hilarious and it wasn't crass at all. In fact, there was very little cussing and no questionable material... Full review

The Rocker with Rainn Wilson Surprisingly Offbeat Funny....My guess is you will enjoy "The Rocker" even....movie buffs who love comedy will need to see.....I was amazed that the movie was as solid for something I had never really heard of or seen previewed.....The Rocker" is juvenile humor at it's best..... ...

this movie some extras would have been nice.....you will defiantly get at least a few good laughs out of it.....The music video for the factitious band was extremely lacking in quality....The movie expertly shows how old time rock bands can become jaded sellouts who only perform for the money and not the love of rock..... ...

Wrongfully pegged as a shameless School of Rock rip-off, The Rocker isn't as bad as it sounds. There's also a lot of flamboyant color in the flick, thanks to plenty of spandex and other flashy outfits. ... Full Review

I´m honestly torn on whether I liked this film....With the picture making just around $7 million in box office receipts and the economy currently in shambles, consumers are weary about which purchases to make.....A large number of actors could have made this film a lot funnier and Wilson just isn´t ready for lead actor roles.....The Rocker" isn´t a bad film, but it is a run of the mill comedy....with "The Rocker," he fails to find that originality that earned him accolades for his previous film..... ...
