The Boat That Rocked

Product Information

From the very start, the film firmly reveals its ambition to be little more than juvenile, rose-tinted pantomime of an ensemble comedy. Much has been made of this as Curtis’ departure from his world of urban romances ( Four Weddings And A Funeral, Notting Hill), but no one will be lost. Before long, the audience is introduced to young Carl (Tom Sturridge), who has been expelled from school for ‘smoking’. Curtis spectators will immediately spot Carl’s stuttering apologies and oh-so-polite innocence, and peg him as being ‘The Hugh Grant Character’, although in this case aged 18. a b Dawtrey, Adam (4 March 2008).
