This was a great movie! It has great laughs, sweet moments, catchy music, and Rainn Wilson. Need I say more?

Fun little movie romp. Take the kids (teens preferably for the "naked drummer" scene) and go have a good, not too serious, time.

Predictable and lacks originality, but it does have it's moments. Some good music along the way but it gets tiresome midway through. Fair performances.

Got Yow? Not Curtis, no way, contrary to the poster hanging on his bedroom wall, the frontman for A.D.D.'s got no Yow in him. The real-life Teddy Geiger might be a Jesus Lizard fan, but his alter-ego is more like The Jesus Meerkat than the influential late-eighties noise band from Chicago(named after the "basilicus basilicus", the lizard that walks on water). A.D.D.'s meteoric rise to fame has almost no basis in reality, but that's nothing compared to Vesuvius' surprising viability in the music industry. Imagine if the Seattle music scene in the early-nineties never happened. That's what "The Rocker" did. A "hair-band" like Vesuvius sells out arenas, and worse yet, gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "The Rocker" is no more realistic about the music biz than "Alvin and the Chipmunks". For A.D.D. to make any headway towards legitimacy, the up-and-comers have to overcome the gimmicky notoriety of being a "You Tube" sensation. They're the band saddled with "The Naked Drummer". In a smarter movie, the suits would force the kids to replace Robert(Rainn Wilson) before signing them to a record contract. In a smarter, funnier movie, it's the kids who act like decadent rockers, not the middle-aged uncle. Make Amelia(Emma Stone) a lush; Matt(Josh Gad), a womanizer; and Curtis(Teddy Geiger), a heroin addict. A.D.D. is one boring band. Shouldn't fame change them in some essential way? The kids are worse than alright, they're underwritten. "The Rocker" is too Fish-centric.… Expand

A very enjoyable movie. Lots of likeable characters. A kind-of weak script, but, again, a good way to spend a week night when you just want to relax and be amused. When I watched it, I felt like I did when I watched "Accepted".

I don't really understand the negative ratings. This was a really fun movie. Does everything have to be so deep and meaning ful to get a good score? Who doesn't like to just go out after a hard day and laugh? Teddy Geiger is a an up and coming pop idol-doesn't hurt that he looks like a Jonas Bro, even though I'm far too old to like them. This movie was good times, bottom line.

A surprisingly good movie with a surprisingly good soundtrack and a surprisingly weak ending.

I loved this movie ! It made me laugh the whole way through!

Funny, Great Music, Thoughtful, Touching - What are the critics problems? - They should just start enjoying more and critiquing less. Maybe be a little more like they were when they were younger. This was a very good, thoughtful and funny movie with some pretty darn good talent on screen.

This movie made me feel good inside.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. by Jared from jaredstuff.com: Which movie should you watch this week? You should watch this one: Rocker, a feel-good comedy from 2008 starring Dwight K. Schrute from The Office, a.k.a. Rainn Wilson from real life. Rainn’s character Fish, the drummer in a rock band, Vesuvius, got kicked out of his band when they were offered a contract if the nephew of the president of the record label could become the new drummer. He then becomes despondent and bitter and works one “soul-crushingâ€� job after another for the next twenty years. After a series of misfortunate events he is without a home and must move in with his sister and her family. His nephew is to play at the school prom and they can’t find a decent drummer, so after much arm-twisting they convince Fish to play with them. Playing again inspires him to revitalize his dreams of rocking and they form a band. They do increasingly well as a band and eventually are asked to open for Vesuvius but Fish refuses due to their previous history of backstabbing and his anger towards them. After a bit of a fallout with his band he comes back to the band and they open for Vesuvius. Everyone loves them and Vesuvius, it turns out, is lip-syncing and they are found out when their equipment fails. Then Fish’s band is cheered back to the stage and they live happily ever after. Also starring Emma Stone, Will Arnett and SNL cast members Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen I give this movie 5 stars up! Go pick it up at your local Netflix today.
