Advantages: Funny Disadvantages: Bit rude - not for the kids
Firstly this film has been slated a bit by critics but I have to say that I think its really easy going comedy at its best - and I am not one who is easily amused!
Anyway just watched this film on DVD this morning with the hubby and I have to say I howled and so did he.
Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the starring role and this bloke is so funny - i just love his films - especially in Snow Dogs - one highly infectious actor who can make you laugh without even trying.
Anyway Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr) has just broken up with his rich girlfriend Felicia (the girl who starred opposite Will Smith in Independence Day) -he has asked her to marry him and she drops the bombshell that she has been sleeping with someone else and rejects him.
So heartbroken Jerry spends time at home mourning the loss of his love.
Enter Nick who is Jerry ...

ROCKING THE BOAT- A HAVEN IN A SEA OF SELF-INVOLVED EPICS
Seldom do those of us in the UK get the chance to view a film in cinema before the American market. For once we were able to make up our own minds without the American sales telling us whether or not the film was any good. Having said that, it quickly became clear from the UK reviews that The Boat that Rocked was a little like marmite. You love it or you hate it. This review is based entirely on seeing the film at the cinema so who knows what extras they will add to the dvd to tempt buyers. I must say that the cinema was almost empty when we saw the film which was a bonus as we could pick the perfect seats and were spared the usual cinema annoyances of chatting individuals and flickering mobile phone screens.
THE PREMISE
The Boat that Rocked is another offering from ...
Advantages: Great story and music Disadvantages: none
The Boat That Rocked focuses on a pirate radio ship, called Radio Rock, broadcasting to the teenagers of the sixties. They are a motley band of disc jockeys that go against the wishes of a British government determined to silence them.

Radio rock has a selection of colourful disc jockeys, including The Count, a brash American, the charming, yet lewd, Dave, inexperienced and gentle, Simon and even a lesbian cook, Felicity. The arrival of Quentin?s godson, Carl, leads to the DJ?s to turn Carl into a man through a number of funny exploits. However the Count?s position as top DJ at Radio Rock are tested when the famous king of the airwaves, Gavin returns from his tour of America.
