About this movie

From the creator of Love Actually and Notting Hill comes a trip back to the freewheeling, free-loving '60s when the very rock music that inspired a generation was censored by the government. When a group of rebellious deejays decides to defy the ban, they take to the seas to broadcast music and mayhem to millions of adoring fans. Featuring a soundtrack that includes The Who, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and many more, it's a feel-great film based on a true story that critics cheer is " exuberant!" (John Powers, Vogue)

One of my favorite movies of all time. I'll be honest - when my husband wanted to watch it, I kind of groaned and prepared for the worst. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be amazed at this movie. Hoffman steals the show with his knock out performance, unlike any character that I have ever seen him play. His acting range was beyond incredible, and I hate that we've lost such a talented actor. I'm so happy that we have this wonderful movie in our collection. It's a bit long, but completely worth every second! :D

It's great! It isn't high budget or anything, so I don't see why people are expecting so much from it. But, It's funny, the music is great, and it's overall amazing! I fell in love with it before I even watched it. I showed my friends it, and they loved it! Great movie!

I was hesitant to watch this, didn't think it would appeal. But I was interested because Philip Seymour Hoffman's in it. The music is great -storyline is actually interesting- it's different but worth the time to watch it. I will rent it again someday
