With a predictable and lightweight story, the earnest efforts of the cast are squandered by The Rocker's bland script. Read critic reviews

Only funny when it wants to be, "The Rocker" embraces the rocker-lifestyle stereotype, but does not fully deliver on a compelling enough story to satisfy me all the way through. Most of the time, the film feels like it is trying to be exactly like School of Rock but with a little more dark humour, and I didn't mind that, but most of the gags fall flat. It's not a bad movie, in fact, by the time the third act begins, it's quite enjoyable, which makes a very average comedy overall. I feel like this film could have had more to it, but there you go. "The Rocker" is a misfire in most areas, but it's not a bad film. With a dumb script, cheesy acting, and a borderline pedofile-esque plot line, this film is a one-and-done movie.

Lacking any actual comedy, "The Rocker" proves that Rainn Wilson should not be allowed to carry his own film. Saved by the gorgeous Emma Stone and some actual good original songs, this "comedy" ends up a bit too predictable and unwarranted.

Despite the energy and charisma of Rainn Wilson, The Rocker, have just a few funny scenes, bad script and that show a waste of talent by Wilson, others good comedians and the director of Dear Rosie and The Full Monty, Peter Cattaneo. Rotten.

It's not going to go down in comedy history, but it's a light, funny watch and has a lot of great people in it!
