'The Rocker' Trailer Rocks Out Hard

For those who've been waiting to see Rainn Wilson absolutely rock out in The Rocker, a brand new trailer for the film has just premiered over at Yahoo. Originally, this flick was supposed to hit screens about a month or so ago, but it's since been pushed to August 1 -- and, from the looks of this trailer, I can totally see this being that late-summer comedy hit that builds buzz and ends up doing quite well at the box office. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for 80's drummers who get a chance to win back a piece of stardom by playing their nephew's high school prom.
The Rocker follows Robert "Fish" Fishman (Wilson), a once successful drummer with a prominent '80s hair band who was tossed to the side right when their popularity began to grow. Now, years later, when Fish's nephew needs an extra drummer for his prom band, that dude from The Office steps up to the plate and takes these kids on one helluva wild ride. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think. Can Rainn Wilson hold down the fort on this one all on his own?

This looks atrocious. Whoever green-lit this pile of crap and equally awful films like it should be banned from Hollywood for life.

Wow. As much as I love Rainn Wilson in The Office, this movie looks like it's relying a lot on his ability to be a physical comedian, something which the trailer suggest he is not at all. Will most definitely avoid. Looks awful.

Maybe I've just turned my brain off too soon, but I thought it looked fairly funny, or at least something I could deal with for an hour and a half without wanting to choke someone.

I think this looks like a movie Jack Black turned down, the same way 'Walk Hard' felt like something Will Ferrell turned down. Once you get past that, the movie can still be good. 'Walk Hard' was fun.
