The Rocker (2008)
7/10
Not "School of Rock" but still pretty cool
30 October 2021
In 1986 Fish (Rainn Wilson) was unceremoniously kicked out of his band. For the next twenty years he would have to see and hear his old band Vesuvius become a mega sensation. The bitterness would only intensify over that time.

Fish got a chance to get back into the limelight when he filled in as the drummer for his nephew's high school band. After accidentally going viral on YouTube for drumming naked, Fish and his nephew's band A. D. D. Became a real hit. Now Fish gets to live out his dream with bandmates Curtis (Teddy Geiger), Matt (Josh Gad), and Amelia (Emma Stone).

It wasn't quite as funny as "School of Rock," though the theme was similar. It was still an older rocker rocking out with minors. It was a steady movie that didn't drop too low or go too high--just an even pace of comedy and light drama.
