U.S. release title is PIRATE RADIO

Rating: 6/10 (13 April 2010)

The music of the 1960's, was & is the basis of our current popular music. This is itself enough of a reason to to view it.
The script however by Richard Curtis is quite awkward at times & quite confusing at other times.He also directed it. Try as it may, the humor doesn't seem to come over as funny as it should,
I also wonder how accurate the ending is.
(SPOILER) Boat sank all survived.
The production is first rate & the acting quite good. Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman are the most well known names. They as usual are great. The rest of cast is quite good,( a few characters are stereotypical),BUT they are all well done.
For those who fondly remember the music of the period the movie is a MUST. Fans of films of the period will also like it. Questionable for all others.
