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 always thought he deserved, and taking the young band along for the ride of their lives.
Leave your thoughts about The Rocker.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerWilson is pretty much the whole show. With nobody else around to steal from, he ends up stealing scenes from himself. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt's a lot of fun. Its spirit is genuine and, even with the odd vomit gag, fundamentally sweet. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe movie's is really good, clean fun that's fine for slightly older kids and a lot of fun for adults. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerAndy SpletzerThe most surprising thing about The Rocker is how enjoyable it is. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThis familiar scenario works because of well-written and acted characters. The disciplined direction is by Peter Cattaneo, who tackled somewhat similar material in "The Full Monty" a decade ago. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOvercomes its essential familiarity thanks to a frequently witty script, grounded direction (by Peter Cattaneo, of "Full Monty" fame) and an engaging turn by its star that proves him more than capable of carrying a comedy feature. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeWilson makes the most of it in this well-crafted, feel-good satire. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceySilly, and unashamedly second-hand, the movie is essentially a Jack Black movie without Jack Black, which is, arguably, an improvement. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThe Rocker can be amusingly dopey, with its "Spinal Tap"-ish lampooning of rock idioms - and idiots. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisA grubby little redemption comedy that in every way feels like a consignment-shop Jack Black vehicle. |
