Pirate Radio, Richard Curtis

A fun rock-n-roll fairy tale set in the North Sea off the British coast, the film's energy derives primarily from its great soundtrack and its aura of rebellion against stuffy authority. Nothing brilliant, nothing surprising, but simply fun entertainment.

I take the bit about no brillance back: Emma Thompson makes a brief appearance as an aging but still sizzling temptress. Compare this to her role in An Education as the sexually repressed headmistress. Brillant.

Recommend.
