The Rocker

2008 Jack Black comedy that he actually has nothing to do with

Rating: 6/20

Plot: Fish is the passionate drummer for a 1980's hair metal band called Vesuvius. The other members of Vesuvius dump him after their manager convinces them that it's a good idea. Apparently it was, as they ride that volcano all the way to the rock 'n' roll hall of fame. Fish is bitter but eventually accidentally joins a teenage relative's garage band which then becomes a smashing success. Rock on!

The music in this is horrible, and I don't think Rainn Wilson, as much as I like him on The Office, can carry a movie. This is a paint-by-numbers comedy with barely enough going on to hold my attention for the duration. I will never speak of it again.
