Oh god. I saw The Rocker last night. Basic plot: Rain Wilson, 'Fish,' joins his nephew's band, A.D.D., as the drummer. Later, Fish becomes an internet celebrity as 'the naked drummer,' and A.D.D. begins getting real gigs and gets an offer to go on tour around the midwest. So, at last, they get a huge offer to play in front of 20,000 people by opening for Vesuvius, who is getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Only problem: Vesuvius is the band that Fish got kicked out of 20 years ago, so Fish does not want to open for them. Anyway, Will plays the lead singer of Vesuvius! He wore this straggly blonde wig, tight rocker pants, and i thought he kind of looked like a pirate. Soooooo hilarious. When you first see Vesuvius, a fog machine and colored lights are going, and when I saw Will walk out of the fog with his ridiculous outfit, I was like, 'Oh no he didn't!!!' So awesome. And he had a cockney accent. But the best part was that in the scene prior to his entrance, the background music was The Final Countdown!!! I practically jumped out of my seat and yelled.
Also, Lonny Ross from 30 Rock and Fred Armisen from SNL were in Will's band. The band (and Will) were only in the movie for about 5 minutes, but it was worth it!!!!
