walk the plank before believing this is good

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2011)

So I watched 2009's pirate radio inspired by the real life British pirate radio stations of the 1960's. Well was this movie good I have to say ehhhhh...it was alright. The best part about this movie is the soundtrack, but that is no reason to watch a movie, we all have ipods or pandora so why bother. This movie could have been good but it just tried to do too much and create conflict where apparently there was none in real life. This movie is directed by Richard Curtis who wrote or directed such schmaltzy girl crap like love actually, Bridget Jones Diary, and four weddings and a funeral. These are not bad movies per say but there just fluffy and so was this movie. If you like fluffy movies with ensemble casts then maybe you'll like this one to. Me personally I can stomach his movies but are not in ah of his talents. Stream line the plot, kill off a few characters so we can to know them better, kill the false tension and struggle, then re-shoot it and get back to me.
