The Rocker tells the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert "Fish" Fishman is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius, who is living the rock n' roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. Twenty years after his rock star fantasies are destroyed, just when Fish has finally given up all hope, he hears that his nephew's high school rock band A.D.D. is looking for a new drummer. They reluctantly make him the newest member of the band, giving him a chance to reclaim the rock God throne he's always thought he deserved, and taking the young band along for the ride of their lives.
I went into this movie with low expectations. I love Rainn Wilson, I loved the concept of the movie, but I heard it was not very good and even someone saying it was horrible. To tell you the truth maybe it was because of that low expectation that I actually enjoyed this movie! I thought Rainn Wilson did a great job of playing a has been rocker (including the spandez) and yet keeping his Dwight (from the office) persona seperate. I also loved Emma Stone (Superbad and The House Bunny) as the only girl bass player. All in all this was a fun movie that I really didnt expect, its nothing we havent seen before and Im not sure if I would buy this movie (unless it was a deal) but I still recommend it.
