Pirate Radio

Seen at: Cinema Saver 6 at 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 16.

This wasn't quite the movie I thought it was going to be. It was much more listless and free-flowing than I expected. The conflict of the bad government guys trying to shut down the radio pirates was more of a level of farce than it would have been in a more "serious" production.

That being said, it was a fun movie to watch, with fun characters. As a period piece of the 1960s, it mostly succeeded. I couldn't help thinking that I'd never seen a movie with more shots of people sitting on toilets, however.

Verdict: not unpleasant way to fill a couple hours.
