The Boat That Rocked (2009 Richard Curtis & scr)

Favourite moment: Chris O'Dowd singing along to 'Stay With Me Baby'.

And Nighy: "Ah. I'm afraid we're in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Going back to earlier comments, in the first fifty minutes of the film there's hardly a single shot longer than two seconds. It's exhausting. Was Ms Hickox hopped up on gin and juice? We'll ask her...

Storywise, there are too many characters and not really a central driving story. Despite some fun moments it's really not one of Curtis's best.
