In films like "Notting Hill," "Bridget Jones's Diary," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," and "Love, Actually," writer/director Richard Curtis used the familiar tropes of romantic comedy to hopefully say something a little deeper about who we are and what we’re looking for.
Forget all that, star Bill Nighy said of Curtis’s next movie, "The Boat That Rocked." The only reason the film exists at all is so Curtis could get his hands on some kick-ass music. Seriously.
"It's shameless, really," Nighy laughed with MTV. "It has no other purpose but to make you laugh, and also to play all those records that charted between '66 and '67. It was a pretty good period. We've got the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, and Diana Ross and all kinds of people."
