RocknRolla

THIS IS AN EXCERPT OF MY REVIEW OF THIS FILM. TO VIEW THE ENTIRE ARTICLE, PLEASE VISIT http://www.nicksmovies.blogspot.com/

So what is a Rock-n-Rolla? The marketing campaign for this film circulated this question through every possible medium, causing a terrible case of "annoying fake British accents" amongst our friends and family (a condition similar to "Borat-itis"). Before RocknRolla was even released, people were buzzing with fake British enthusiasm to find the answer to this question. However, when the film was finally released, we discovered people didn't so much care about finding the true meaning of a "Rock-n-Rolla" as much as they did masquerading as a British person. This is evidenced by the fact that RocknRolla only made about $6 million and never broke into the top 10 at the box office. Even I, who was a fan of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, didn't bother seeing this film. It's a good thing I didn't waste my money. RocknRolla tries to be as fun and charismatic as its predecessors, but falls into a veritable mine field of movie faux pas.

  1. Nevermind, just cheched Shiran's blog and found out. That's OK that you haven't seen this movie. You don't want to, trust me.

  2. I would have thought that a Guy Ritchie movie would have been better, but apparently not. Glad I didn't go to see it now.
