    Not bad, not bad at all

    Went I went to this movie, I didn't know what to expect, I was just bored on a Wednesday. However, I was happily surprised once it was finished. It was a comedy that didn't seem based on completely stupid humor, such as Tropic Thunder (good movie none the less) and Pineapple Express. I will admit though, it would probably go over better for the girls then the guys as it has an underlaying tone of chick-flick to it. Romance was a big theme after all, though it doesn't necessarily show in the previews. However, I would recommend this movie to anyone and I think it would be a great date movie.

    HE Stole the show!!

    I thought the movie "the Rocker" was very great.
    i loved every minute of it. The music was AMAZING.
    From the REMARKALBE newcomer (to movies) Teddy Geiger! he stole the hole show with his beautiful talent ...he lit up the hole screen, it was very good for his first time being in a movie..very cute!!
    One thing I would change is having Emma Stone in the movie, she was not very funny..or noticably talented. Teddy made the movie great, i hope he continues to be in movies! cause he is very amazingly talented! without him the movie might of not been sooo incredible.

    Pretty Funny! Some memorable lines!

    I was kind of expecting this to be another cheesy movie that I'd regret seeing, but since it had Dwight (The Office) in it, I had to see it.
    It was hilarious! I went to see it a 2nd time with another friend. There are some great lines in, a few things you keep thinking about later on that makes you laugh.

    I recommend this movie if you like slapstick comedies. It was pretty clean, too. No nudity, other than Dwight's butt, which was just hilarious, not sexual at all. It had a few dirty jokes, but nothing crazy.
