Top 5 Reasons to see... Pirate Radio

9:55 PM | Posted by Russel Harder | Edit Post
Playing off of Leah's recent pick of the week, I've decided to compile my top 5 reasons to see Pirate Radio, or for you British readers, The Boat That Rocked. Which, really, is a much better title but that's neither here nor there. I will also say that five things are as un-spoiler-ish as possible as I'm looking to design the list to get you to see the film and not to have to not to need to see the film. Right? Okay.

5. Thick Kevin. Is quietly one of the best characters in a movie full of incredible characters.

4. Twatt. Is a gag that will never get old.

3. The smoldering sexual charisma of Nick Frost. Will leave you begging for more.

2. The music. As this is a movie about a boat that double's as a supplier for illegial rock radio music during the 70's, this really shouldn't be a surprise.

1. Never have I ever. In thinking of an idea or concept that best conveys the embarrassment of riches, when it comes to funny funny British actors (and Philip Seymour Hoffman), this is a choice example. Involving pretty much everyone the multiple scenes that involve this drinking game are excellent... and reveal a number of wickedly funny moments. You'll have to watch to see what I mean. But even in talking about this being an excellent example of a funny moment in the movie... the movie itself is non-stop endearing, crude, awesome British humor.
