Pirate Radio is a perfectly balanced comedy with a brilliant cast. Hard to believe it’s only Richard Curtis’s second film as director.

Focus Features has taken over domestic distribution of Richard Curtis’ pirate radio yarn The Boat That Rocked. Universal was planning a release for August 28th, but Focus has pushed it back until sometime in November. They also appear to want to make some cuts.

Pirate radio, Golden Era Rock ‘n’ Roll, and a cast of crazy DJ stowaways? Damn, this movie looks so incredibly good. And by “looks,” I mean that you can actually look at it in glorious trailer-vision!

The last time Richard Curtis was directing, he was delivering Love, Actually, one of my favorite films of the past 5 years. And now he’s back with a film that, quite simply, appears to rock.

Kevin Carr looks at the slate of films in theaters this week with the FSR Report Card.

Overall, this movie is something to envy of our friends in the major markets, to hope gets a wider release, and to impatiently wait for until the DVD comes out.
