This Tuesday, I was able to get into the premiere of The Rocker. Let me tell you that this movie is hilarious. Of course anything that include Dwight Shrute as a lead is very funny. No, he doesn't play The Office character, he is "The Rocker". The storyline goes as follows, Rainn Wilson, aka Fish in the movie, was in a band called Vesuvius. They kick him out and 20 years later he helps out his nephew by taking the drummer position. Obviously this sounds like a typical go getter movie, and it may be, but I still think this movie is worth watching.
One cool thing about going to the premiere was that Teddy Geiger, aka Curtis in the movie, made an appearance at the theater. He actually has a band of his own and was performing at The Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale last night. I did take pictures with my camera phone but I still have to figure out how to use bluetooth with my laptop. They weren't that great anyway, but I'll continue working on how to use it.
The movie will be in theaters on July 30, so go check it out.
