3 stars out of 4 -- More retro than renegade, PIRATE RADIO is buoyed by spirited performances and infectious tunes.

PIRATE RADIO opens with a zippy title sequence backed by the Kinks's 'All Day and All of the Night.
Movieline
Stuffed with playful character actors and carpeted with wall-to-wall tunes, the film makes for easy viewing and easier listening...
New York Times
[T]here's no denying the comic energy of the cast. Couple that with blasts of Brit rock from the Beatles and the Stones to Dusty Springfield and David Bowie, and the ship is unsinkable.
Rolling Stone
[The film] floats on a great soundtrack and is buoyed by an inviting cast...
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- This blast of Sixties nostalgia, derived from the days when pirate radio ships broadcast off the coast of Britain with a motley crew of dee-jays, should appeal to ageing music freaks and fans of Brit-pop.

Product Description:
British helmer Richard Curtis (LOVE ACTUALLY) directs a cast of his countrymen (plus lone American star Philip Seymour Hoffman) in this comedy set in Britain in 1966. While the BBC would allow only two hours of rock and roll to be played on its airwaves a week, pirate stations broadcast music to the pop-starved masses. THE BOAT THAT ROCKED also stars Bill Nighy, Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans, and Kenneth Branagh.
