Top Critics Reviews

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

fresh:
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.
– Joanne Kaufman,

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.
– Scott Tobias,

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

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.
