August 21, 2009Saw this film in England last Spring when it was released in the UK - it is a British film about one of the most exciting periods in Rock and Roll during the 60's and a look at British radio during that time. This is one of the most entertaining films I've seen in a long time - funny, full of fantastic music and well worth going to the cinema to see. I plan to add this to my DVD collection because you can watch this film over and over and still enjoy it. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy and Rhys Ifans along with the rest of the cast are brilliant in this - I highly recommend this movie!
