ReelViews -
The result, although uneven, is generally enjoyable, especially for those who attend with the right mindset. Character and narrative are secondary concerns for a movie primarily driven to provide a Valentine to '60s rock-and-roll.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Richard Curtis is good at handling large casts, establishing all the characters and keeping them alive.

Entertainment Weekly -
Pirate Radio is, in the end, about as rock-revolutionary as a tea break. But the choppy production floats on a great soundtrack (the real pirates are the Rolling Stones) and is buoyed by an inviting cast.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
It's a calculated crowd-pleaser that skims over the surface of the era like a cruise-ship production of "American Graffiti."

Empire -
A mix-tape of successes and failures, perhaps too light for its subject, but a silly, easy watch.

The Boat That Rocked (2009)
The Boat that Rocked is an ensemble comedy, where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music. It's about a band of DJs that captivate Britain, playing the music that defines a generation and standing up to a government that wanted control of popular culture via the British Broadcasting Corporation. Loosely based on the events in Britain in the 60's when the Labour government of Harold Wilson, wanted to bring the pirate stations under control, enough to see the passage of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act on 15 August 1967
