Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A whacked-out, superannuated, would-be rock star might seem to be too easy a comic target, but Wilson gives this sad sack so many fresh twists that he never wears out his welcome.

As a movie, it may not rock, but it rolls along nicely enough.

rotten:
It's a slave to formula, and it hits its marks satisfyingly enough to make for a pleasant time-passer, but Wilson and a loaded supporting cast are never as funny as they should be.

The Rocker has the requisite vomit, the view of some very unfortunate hind quarters and the suds. It's also got a vein of sweetness and charm.

rotten:
The melody of The Rocker feels predictable but the beat is refreshingly off-kilter.
