In 1966, BBC radio broadcasts less than an hour of pop music a day, forcing pirate DJs to take up the slack from boats anchored outside British waters. Quentin (Bill Nighy) is the commander of such a pirate station, overseeing a host of seedy, lusty and dope-smoking DJs, including the Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Dave (Nick Frost), who makes it his personal mission to see to it that Quentin's newly arrived godson (Tom Sturridge) loses his virginity.

If you didn't pay attention to what was being said and/or didn't understand the lingo, then the movie just didn't seem funny to those around me. I laughed my "bleep" off(O.K. I'm chicken to say it) when clearly others missed the humor. I loved the soft rebellious approach of Pirate Radio and the villanous, stubournous approach of the staunch uprightousness of the snibbling Brits plotting to shut down the evil "Pirate Radio". Good ending despite the losses. The free love was hilarious. The way all of the different personalities on the ship meshed into some great comradary, made for it's own humor in how they dealt with and copped with each other on this great freedom of speech embarkation. Loved it.

Good historically accurate story about rock and roll music broadcasting in the 60's in Britian. Over 50 great tunes. Acting quite believable. Delightful!
