Response: I absoloutely love this film! The casting is brilliant and the soundtrack is classic. The narrative is light hearted and easy to watch. The film has an open narrative ending and therefore leaves opportunity for a sequel, which I hope they decide against for fear of ruining the first...

I agree with this , the film is awesome. Nick Frost adds a huge comical factor that combines with the rest of the cast very well , such as Rhys Ifans and Tom Sturridge. It appeals to me mostly because of its musical undertones. I believe that the music and the general movements of this time are so much more genuine and cooler than that of today and so the pirate radio storyline was a big hit.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this film. It is so light hearted and easy going. The music in the film captures the swinging sixties really well and is sure a great soundtrack. Even though the critics have slated this film, I thoroughly enjoyed it especially the childish comedy from the characters. The cast is great with Bill Nighy playing a similar character to that in Love Actually. I think this movie will appeal to anyone who wants to watch something fun and witty.
