Reviews


75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
It's a lot of fun. Its spirit is genuine and, even with the odd vomit gag, fundamentally sweet.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck
Overcomes its essential familiarity thanks to a frequently witty script, grounded direction (by Peter Cattaneo, of "Full Monty" fame) and an engaging turn by its star that proves him more than capable of carrying a comedy feature.
70
Variety - Unnamed
Wilson makes the most of it in this well-crafted, feel-good satire.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
The Rocker can be amusingly dopey, with its "Spinal Tap"-ish lampooning of rock idioms - and idiots.
60
Empire - Unnamed
Lightweight but likable.
