Great voice cast in this sweet film about “Monsters” that defeat the aliens and save the world. The 3D thing is a bit overdone and really irrelevant when watching it on a television. But none of the effects were bothersome.
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.
Based on all I had heard, I figured this would suck, but at least I wouldn’t have to think about some big plot. Amazingly, this film didn’t suck. It was not cinematic tour de force or anything, but it was just a nice film about growing up and following your dream whether you are 17 or 35.
There were some parts that I would have preferred to not see, but this was the week of the pasty white man butt, so I guess that was inevitable.
So, not a great film, not a bad film. The music was unoffensive. The old band played by Will Arnett, Fred Armisen, and Bradley Cooper were quite amusing. The references to other rock legends and films were fun to see. I would watch this again if bored and looking for something light.
The Rocker tells the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert “Fish” Fishman is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius, who is living the rock n’ roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. Twenty years after his rock star fantasies are destroyed, just when Fish has finally given up all hope, he hears that his nephew’s high school rock band A.D.D. is looking for a new drummer. They reluctantly make him the newest member of the band, giving him a chance to reclaim the rock God throne he’s always thought he deserved, and taking the young band along for the ride of their lives.
Sweet film about the wittiest 16 year old pregnant girl ever. You can’t help but root for her. I don’t believe anyone else could have played this part except Ellen Page. I understand what allthe hype was about.
