It was called The Boat That Rocked when it first opened in the UK. Now its name has been changed (I personally liked the UK title much better) and nearly twenty minutes have been excised from the running time (mostly the parts that fleshed out characters and gave a certain amount of depth to the rather light-hearted story). Welcome to America Pirate Radio. Still though, truncated or not (I certainly prefer the UK version, now out on DVD across the pond) the film still manages to elicit a boatload of fun. And yes, that very bad pun is used by one character in the movie. And what a killer diller soundtrack. Rock & Roll people, Rock & Roll indeed.
