Most under-rated movie in a generation

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2016)

Great cast, great story, great music. I really can't understand how Pirate Radio isn't considered an absolute classic. A group of misfit DJs try to bring music to the citizens of England. The coming of age of a young godson and the lack of female companionship causes continual stress. Rhys Darby is brilliant as always, the entire cast does a fantastic job of selling the viewer on their job of bringing rock and roll to the masses despite their challenges. This film compares very strongly to Almost Famous, and shares the talent of Philip Seymour Hoffman. What a fun ride and make sure to watch the closing credits with all the great rock album covers of the last fifty years!
