Look Out, He’s Behind You!
He even refuses to authorise lifeboats to liberate the DJs as Radio Rock sinks slowly into the sundown in the about laughable Titanic pastiche at the end. Fortunately Branagh has no problem playing pompous legislature figures, as he ably demonstrated in his corner as Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and his scenes really bring an end to ... being some of the most enjoyable.
Curtis usual flair for prose rounded female symbols is also noticeably lacking. Naturally the merely woman on embark is the cook, and a lesbian to boot (luckily for her). The repose of the ladies (individually from a blink-and-you-miss it cameo from Emma Thompson) exist only to provide elaboration and of course sex on demand, being inexplicably fascinated to a boatload of cretins merely because they are outstanding. Free love? Only because they dont have to pay for it …
In a beyond command to assure compassion for the brave boys by sea, Curtis likewise creates an of the maximum one-dimensional villains this side of a Christmas panto in the manner of Minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh). Complete with Hitler moustache and literally trembling with nauseate at how this pornography is corrupting the good inhabitants of Britain, there is nobody he ambition no stoop to in order to shut the station down.
Aside from the soundtrack, packaged with the usual spare timeer favourites, The Boat That Rocked does little to induce the enthusiasms of the era. Rhys Ifans, the only DJ with an ounce of charisma, is criminally consumed in petty disputes with token Yank Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Pirate Radio Review
Anchored in the North Sea fair outside the clutches of British authorities, Radio Rock pumps out swaying sixties songs 24 hours a day, in contrast to the stuffy behemoth of the BBC, which quotas its listeners to a few hours a week. Owned by the dapper Quentin (Bill Nighy phoning in a vengeance of his character from Love Actually), the station is host to an classification of DJs whose selves are only matched by their declared gallantry with the inverse sex.
Into this asylum of testosterone stumbles Quentins godson Carl (Tom Sturridge), who has been expelled from school and doubtless dispatched into Quentins concern to obtain his life behind on trace. What likely wrong influences could there be on a canoe churning out unlawful music [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drugs and liquor on demand, and a group of men determined to aid him lose his virginity? Despite floppy hair and the competence to um on cue [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sturridge sadly absences the likability of Hugh Grant, which might have made him more appealing.
What is meant to be a floating two-finger salute to the establishment ends up nothing more than Animal House On Water. Packed with the most comprehensive set of misogynists since a Carry On treble bill, the all-boys-together atmosphere fast becomes wearisome. Rather than displaying their devotion to providing rock and roll to the deprived masses, the DJs only come to life when they are indulging in some puerile compete to testify their masculinity [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], alternatively when the afterward boat load of totty is conveyed for their delectation.
Tom Sturridge as Ne'er Do Well Nephew
Best understood because classical British romcoms such for Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually, Richard Curtis slips aboard his rose-tinted glasses to pay homage apt the pirate DJs of the 1960s, whose task apt bring forbidden music to British listeners brought them into direct collide with the administration of the day.
