The Rocker is a comedy which came out August 20th 2008. It stars Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Teddy Geiger, Will Arnett, and Bradley Cooper. The story of a failed, over-the-hill drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson) is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate (not to mention sweaty) drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius who is living the rock and roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. Unfortunately for Fish, this happens right before Vesuvius becomes one of the biggest bands in the world. Fish is then forced to get a real job and abandon his dream until an unlikely opportunity arises. Twenty years after getting booted out of the band he helped create, just when Fish has finally given up hope, all of his wildest fantasies come true.

This was surprisingly good. I must adamit that at first I was dubious as it looked like another School of Rock movie (which I thought was appalling with a major cringe factor) But it was a pretty decent movie
The off-kilter comic rhythms of Rainn Wilson are exploited to excellent effect in "The Rocker," a derivative rock satire that is far more enjoyable than one would have a right to expect. This tale of a middle-aged drummer getting a second chance more
Judging by The Rocker 's abysmal Box-Office performance this weekend ( it opened at #12 with 2.8 million dollars )...I've got to ask: What happened? Was the movie that terrible? Is Rainn Wilson not a box-office draw whatsoever? Poor marketing? S more
I would love to review this film but with either Zango on every link or a fake blogspot it is impossible. I think I am officially done with sidereel. I will be moving on to find a site that actually thinks of its users for a change. There are still a few more

Rainn Wilson Becomes the Rocker I was able to see an early screening of "The Rocker" and it was HILARIOUS. I knew Rainn Wilson was going to be funny, but I had no idea just how funny that would be. It was a real departure from his role on " more
