The Boat that Rocked - 2009 * * * *

On Shore, off air, out of control.

After hearing of the history of Radio Caroline from my dad I was excited to see this movie, based on the infamous pirate radio station that was broadcast illegally this film centres on the lives of the DJs who, although illegal, were bringing amazing music to many people. Notable performances from Kenneth Branaugh, Rhys Ifans and Bill Nighy and a fantastic soundtrack make this film a must see for anyone who has ever been interested in pirate radio or just simply appreciated good music.
