4.0 out of 5 stars"Wow. I never realized that, like, real life is so boring."
By Konrei on April 26, 2009
Format: DVD
Rainn Wilson plays Robert Fishman---"Fish"---the left-behind drummer for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame big hair band Vesuvius, who was dumped just as the band got its first real break.

Fish spends the next twenty years working 9 to 5 and brooding over his bandmates' betrayal. He never touches a drum kit again until his teenaged nephew, in a band called Attention Deficit Disorder, begs him to fill in for the band's absent drummer.

Fish agrees. He gives the lead singer, Timothy Geiger, a few new arrangements and some lyrics, and within months, A.D.D. is the biggest act around with a hit record and a national tour. Although Fish quickly readopts his hardcore rocker lifestyle, his young bandmates act as a sea anchor, calming him somewhat.

All is well until the band's manager convinces Geiger to dump "the dinosaur," and Fish finds himself once again relegated to the bargain bin. But A.D.D. is not Vesuvius, and they quickly lose momentum without their sparkplug. Although begged to return, at first Fish is embittered, especially when he discovers that A.D.D. is to be the opening act for Vesuvius's world tour. But in the end, his love for his young bandmates overcomes all.

This is a fine, fun, and goodnatured film in the vein of SCHOOL OF ROCK, and is well worth a bowl of popcorn and a Sunday evening.

4.0 out of 5 starsKind of Sweet, Completely Weird, But Fun.
By Kelly Klepfer VINE VOICE on March 7, 2009
Format: DVD
"Dwight" from The Office fans should find enough Dwight in this film to satisfy. Those of you who can't stand "Dwight" well, you may not find The Rocker experience a great one. The story is amusing enough. Twenty years previously, Fish (Wilson) is the drummer for the band Vesuvius. Good news for the band, a big label wants to sign them. Bad news for Fish, the president of the label has a drummer nephew who will be the band drummer. Fish never gets over this slight. As the band Vesuvius grows in popularity, Fish grows in bitterness. After losing his job, girlfriend and apartment he moves into his sister's attic. His nephew has a garage band with a gig at the prom. They lose their drummer and, well, you can figure it out from here.

Surprisingly clean, there are no sex scenes, the language is tolerable and low-key. However, there is a scene with an angry mother who shares the fact that her son drew a male body part on a female teacher's face....which is a very funny scene, but contains the anatomically correct word several times. There is also a band manager who is very free with come-on's and has a sexually oriented potty mouth. A scene of Fish drumming naked becomes the YouTube hit -- The Naked Drummer -- and propels the band to popularity. Viewers are treated to a whole lot of naked man rear shots.

The humor level is moderate. Like I said, you probably need to be amused by Dwight to fully appreciate Fish's humor. He has a very unique delivery, sweet blended with doofusy sarcasm/nastiness. There are several amusing one-liners and situations that are laugh out loud including quite a bit of physical humor. Christina Applegate delivers some great sarcastic lines. The writing is good. The songs are easy to listen to and I really liked their sound.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsLet the Music Play
By Chris Pandolfi on August 22, 2008
"The Rocker" is a surprisingly enjoyable movie, with engaging performances, jokes that are suited for the material, and a fairly solid premise. I was consistently interested in what was going on, and I actually cared about the characters. In a sense, it's like a sports movie, in which we root for the heroes to fight the good fight and emerge victorious. I'm hard pressed to say it was any better than it wanted to be, however. Had this story been told dramatically, it probably would have been much more powerful; the rise to fame is not without its turmoil, especially when the celebrities are teenagers. The idea of an adult drummer leading a teenage rock band from the garage to the arena is full of emotionally charged possibilities. Many of them weren't explored because "The Rocker" was made as a comedy. But that's okay. It still works.

The story begins in 1986, just as a popular heavy metal band called Vesuvias finishes a gig in Cleveland. Despite their success, the drummer, Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson), is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. He swears that he'll make it no matter what, but when we flash forward twenty years, it's clear that things haven't worked out as planned; Fish spends his days doing the tasks of a soul-crushing desk job. When he's fired for unruly behavior (namely attacking a coworker for playing the new Vesuvias album), he's forced to leave his apartment and move in with his disapproving sister, Lisa (Jane Lynch), her thrill-seeking husband, Stan (Jeff Garlin), and their quarrelsome children, Violet (Samantha Weinstein) and Matt (Josh Gad). Matt and his high school friends Amelia (Emma Stone) and Curtis (Teddy Geiger) have formed a rock band called A.D.D.; after weeks of trying, they will finally have their first gig at the prom.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsWickedly Funny and Original - Clevelanders Have to Forgive a Few Things...
By Kenny&Johna on May 3, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Highly entertaining and fun. Rainn Wilson is fantastic as usual and the writing is witty, playful and many laugh-out-loud moments makes this a must-see. Although I am a big fan of 'The Office' I passed up this movie for the last few years thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it; not sure why - maybe it was the artwork or what that turned me off. Caught this by accident when channel surfing on Comedy Central and the next day ordered this Blu-ray from Amazon. Greatly enjoyed it! If I had to be critical about anything, it's this... the movie takes place in Cleveland and I live in Cleveland and I take issue with a few things; First, we do not call 'The Q' the 'Q Arena' (if you are a Cleveland vet you occasionally out of habit still call it the Gund Arena), Next, if you are on a tour bus and downtown can be seen out the driver's side windows (looking from the front of the bus to the back) you are obviously going west on Route 2 toward Edgewater Park and the bus driver pipes up and says, "Rock Hall coming up on the left," then he is a liar, you would have already passed the Rock Hall and would have been on the right, if that isn't enough to question your bus driver then taking a left at the Rock Hall will because would have just drove the bus directly into Lake Erie, finally if you look out your bedroom window and see the Rock Hall, check to see if your two-story home has been built into the north side of a skyscraper. Other than that, great movie!
