After a bit of worrying that this would be one more stereotype about midlife crisis and/ or teen ansgst... turns into Clever Comedy with funny laughs memorable scenes and motivation to maybe even try something new

This film tells the story of a guitarist who got thrown out of a band that subsequently becomes super famous. He lives with anger for the next twenty years. All is changed when he gets his fame unexpectedly in an unlikely band."The Rocker" is a fun comedy. It got me giggling a few times due to silly jokes. I like Christina Applegate's character, I think she's quite fun and lively because of her character's history of being in a band. The subplot of forgiveness and giving yourself a chance to be happy is a good message as well. By the way, Bradley Cooper fans beware, he has only got a very small role in the film, speaking only one line. Though I'll probably not remember it after a few months, I enjoyed watching this brain off film.

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.

"The Rocker" isn't a masterpiece, but it is a fun ride. It has it's clichés, but it's alright. I can allow that, and it didn't keep me from enjoying this movie.It tells the story about a drummer called Fish ( Rainn Wilson) who once was kicked out and betrayed by his band. The band, Vesuvius, became one of the most successful heavy metal bands, and Fish, 20 years later, has become nothing, and is still depressed. Then, suddenly he is given a second chance with a new band, called ADD.Rainn Wilson is the perfect actor for the role of Fish. I really like him in "The Office", and in this one, he plays in many ways the same type of character. He's still hysterically funny at times, and is the main reason for the success of this movie. Emma Stone is as always great, but I had some problems with the other two band members, played by Teddy Geiger and Josh Gad. Honestly, I don't know why, but anyway, I didn't like them that much. Last, but not least, I have to mention Jason Sudeikis, who made me laugh almost every time he made me laugh. . Putting aside the humor, the story is good. There are some drama- elements which is really good. At times it becomes a little emotional, in a positive way. Some may be touched by it. Watch it. Especially, If you like Indie-rock, you may like it even more than me.
