Overview:
There are echoes of Jack Black's The School of Rock in this comedy from The Full Monty director Peter Cattaneo. Rainn Wilson stars as Fish, a washed-up drummer who joins his teenage nephew's band, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Fish's preference for drumming naked creates an internet sensation and ADD become an overnight success, but they fall foul of a fast-talking music exec (an amusing Jason Sudeikis). Fortunately, what the film lacks in originality it makes up for in charm and off-the-wall humour. And Wilson easily graduates from comedy sidekick (in the US version of The Office) to carry this film with a winning blend of dry cynicism and childish exuberance. The balance of gags and heartfelt moments is ably handled by Cattaneo, and there's a sweet romantic subplot involving Fish and the former rocker mother of one his bandmates (played by Christina Applegate).
