I absolutely adore this awkward but lovely movie. I was hesitant to watch at first, but was drawn right in to poor James' plight. 'The Boat That... cked' has one of the greatest soundtracks that I've ever listened to, and one of the only ones that I didn't skip any of the songs. Five stars, for me. Full Review

Richard Curtis is good at handling large casts, establishing all the characters and keeping them alive.Full Review

Classic rock enthusiasts will want to stick around through the end credit sequence, which features an array of album covers.Full Review

If you want to know years in advance what old-age nostalgia is going to look like for Baby Boomers, look no further than Pirate Radio, in which the sun always shines, the music is great and the sex is available, guilt-free and glorious.Full Review

The result, although uneven, is generally enjoyable, especially for those who attend with the right mindset. Character and narrative are secondary concerns for a movie primarily driven to provide a Valentine to '60s rock-and-roll.Full Review

ReelViews

A tale so raucous, raunchy and punch-drunk with love for the rebellious spirit of rawk -- and so disdainful of those who have tried to squelch it -- that it pretty much negates any claims to objectivity, let alone factuality. In other words, it's not a documentary.Full Review
