DVD Review: "THE ROCKER" Score C-

This one lays a golden goose egg of bad. Rainn Wilson is funny in the office and perfect for that role, in this one he is just plain dumb. This movie is more reminiscent of a SNL skit left on the cutting room floor than a movie. Although the premise is decent enough: An 80's drummer dumped by his band and they go on to super rock band without him, he then 20 years later joins his nephews band and thanks to YouTube they become successful too and he get to be a "Rocker". However the execution and the writing cause this whole thing that sounds promising to fall flat. The jokes are bad, Wilson's improv is lame, the other actors are mostly phoning it in. I half expected a laugh track to be included to add to the bad sitcom-ness feel of this one. Stretched out to a feature length film is what this feels like...stretched out. You can skip this film and wouldn't miss anything.
