About this product
Product Information
Slovenly drummer Robert "Fish" Fishman (THE OFFICE's Rainn Wilson) is booted out of his 1980s hair metal band, Vesuvius, right as they're signed to a big label, crushing his dreams and leading to a 20-year stretch of office park employment. A second chance comes in the form of his overweight teenage keyboardist nephew (Josh Gad) who needs an emergency drummer for his band's gig at the prom. It's an odd match--an '80s metal guy in a teen emo-lite band (their name is A.D.D.)--but he's soon offering fatherly counsel to fatherless boy singer Curtis (Teddy Geiger), giving hair gel tips to the foxy bassist (Emma Stone), and working to get the band a club gig. Soon A.D.D. is signed to the same label as Vesuvius, poised for major MTV-stardom, all leading to a big arena spot as the opening band for the dreaded Vesuvius. Fish needs to overcome his tantrum-throwing ways and step up to the kit, if he wants to impress Curtis's hot mom (Christina Applegate) and outrock his former colleagues. A cross between rock star fantasia à la SCHOOL OF ROCK and the Will Ferrell School of man-child comedy, THE ROCKER benefits from tight editing and pretty decent songs. Real-life musician Geiger saves some rough stretches with his easygoing charisma, while Peter Best (the drummer dropped from the Beatles and hence the quintessential "dumped drummer") makes a cameo. It's directed by Peter Cattaneo of THE FULL MONTYProduct Identifiers

Good, fun movie. There's lots of bonus material to enjoy too!
It was worthwhile for me to view this movie. I really like the actor Rainn Wilson, and was pleasantly surprised to see other actors with Saturday Night Live (SNL) connections - such as Fred Armisen. I was disappointed that Pete Best (The Beatles' original drummer) didn't get a speaking role but there is a surprise in the bonus material on that. What I don't like about the media is the digital copy was not working for me. The digital copy is intended for you (the purchaser) to transfer the right to view this film on other platforms. It involved going to a studio website, and I gave up on that effort shortly thereafter. I watched the film on a standard DVD player and I enjoyed the experience.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

the rocker
This was good , the main guy was a party animal in a up and coming rock n roll group than they dropped him , he never got over it and now he is in his 40's still a rock drummer ( at heart ) and a party animal , he gets a second chance to be in a kids group , still the same guy having a great time . Its almost like a comedy documentaryVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Rocker accepts that a stunning drummer can triumph over all obstacles, including middle age rebirth.
Why not laugh over an embarrassing uncle as he jumpstarts his nephew's garage band into fame and fortune? Rainn Wilson had the same kind of comic timing as in The Crimson Bolt. Give both movies to your middle school adolescents and leave the viewing area. You'll be a super cool relative too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cool movie....also listen to the commentary.
It's a funny look at the music business as well as a feel good story about a guy named "Fish" who was booted out of a music group but ultimately got his revenge years later. Great acting, good character development, Emma Stone is perfect. Buy it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
