Watch The Rocker For Free

A lot of fun.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a terrific, most entertaining movie. Never a dull moment with Rainn Wilson. It's leads and supporting actors are well known for their talent on TV and Saturday Night Live. Once cannot go wrong when combining comedic talent to deliver a fun story. Together they deliver a well paced story full of laughs, Spinal Tap-like moments, and great original songs. The soundtrack is flawless, honestly had to buy it. All the songs are incredibly catchy. I hope that people will re-visit this film and enjoy it and the music as much as I did. Will Arnett, Bradley Cooper, and Fred Armisen steal scenes that will forever be memorable in my mind. Pass it along, word of mouth, this is a film I would love to see gain a following.

After achieving fame on the TV series 'The Office', actor Rainn Wilson here shows himself capable of carrying a feature film, in this vehicle. It's got some heart as well as some degree of silliness, and it doesn't conclude as well as one might like, but it does do its job, and keep entertaining the viewer for a well paced 103 minutes.Wilson indeed is playing the kind of part one could also easily see Jack Black playing: Robert "Fish" Fishman, wildman drummer for Vesuvius, a rock band on the rise, whose bandmates cruelly kick him out just before what could have been a life changing event. He spends the next 20 years bearing a grudge and deeply resenting his lot in life when an opportunity presents itself. Fish's nephew Matt (Josh Gad) is keyboardist for a high school band named A.D.D., and they need to replace their drummer in time for the prom.In record time, this band begins to take off, and the members - also including singer / guitarist / creative force Curtis (Teddy Geiger) and bass player Amelia (Emma Stone) - find themselves having to deal with a crazed Fish desperate to live out all the decadent rock 'n' roll dreams he never got to realize before.Ultimately, this is a pretty, if not entirely, predictable affair. At least it doesn't act as if a romance between Fish and Curtis's hottie mom Kim (Christina Applegate) is inevitable. It goes utterly over the top in the early going (that bit with the incensed Fish pursuing his Vesuvius bandmates is priceless), but for most of the rest of the picture, it's a little more down to Earth.Wilson proves to be fearless (witness the naked drummer routine) and delivers a performance of true enthusiasm. His castmates are equally appealing. Jeff Garlin has his moments playing Fish's brother; also co-starring are Jane Lynch, Jason Sudeikis, and Howard Hesseman; it's hilarious to see Will Arnett, Bradley Cooper, and Fred Armisen in long hair wigs as they portray the other members of Vesuvius (and affect ridiculous faux English accents near the end). Appropriately enough, Pete Best, the man infamous for being the drummer fired from the Beatles, has a cameo.Overall "The Rocker" is likable enough and amusing enough to qualify as agreeable entertainment while it lasts. It may not be terribly memorable, but it is quite easy to take.Seven out of 10.

I happened to like it a lot! Sure, it has little cheesy and expect-able ending, and sure the songs A.D.D. played was not that good and definitely not for every generations. But as a choice of one of the "Friday night movies", this film is perfect!!Rainn Wilson did a great job in this, his weird and annoying but likable style of acting definitely fit his character. And that's why I disagree with all the nonsense accusations that the Fish, main character in this film, was supposed to be done by Jack Black. WTF with those people? Every movies about rock'n roll is supposed to be done by Jack Black!? Is that what they saying? Then they are clearly out of their minds because Rain Wilson was hilarious in this, and I think I liked the movie because of him. So if you are searching for one of the legendary movies, I won't recommend this one, but if you are searching for 102 min of simple enjoyment, this be it!!

While it starts off hilariously with some promise, Peter Cattaneo's 'The Rocker' quickly treads on a predictable path and the end result is a generic comedy about a rockstar's fall from grace and then climbing back up. The story lacks development and the pacing is uneven. It starts off with a decent pace and then moves very fast and then slows down in the latter portion. That is not to say that this isn't an enjoyable watch. Thanks, mainly to the cast, especially Rainn Wilson, that most of the humour works. It was also a relief that Cattaneo and the writers didn't rely too much on toilet humour. Rainn Wilson is terrific in his role and he easily carries the film. However, comedic talents like Christina Applegate and Jane Lynch are wasted. The younger cast is impressive despite the lack of development in their characters. While Teddy Geiger and Josh Gad turn in sincere performances, Emma Stone turns out to be the outstanding one of the lot as she continues to prove why she is among the best of the young lot. The songs are forgettable. Overall, it's not a great film but funny enough, thanks to Wilson, to draw some laughter.
