The Rocker is a 2008 comedy starring Rainn Wilson, Josh Gad, Teddy Geiger, Emma Stone,Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Will Arnett, Fred Armisen and Bradley Cooper. The film was written by Maya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky, from a story by Ryan Jaffe, and directed by Peter Cattaneo. Despite relatively heavy promotion, the film is notorious for being one of the least-profitable films of 2008.During the mid-80's, Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson) was the drummer for Vesuvius, a localglam metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. After playing a local gig, Fish's bandmates are approached by their manager, who says that a label is interested in them but will not sign them unless they get rid of Fish, replacing him as drummer with the nephew of the label's president. At first, the band refuses on account that Fish was a founding and very important member of the band, but after their manager tells them that they will open for Whitesnake if they sign to the label, they fire Fish on the spot and leave him in the dust. Fish curses his bandmates for backstabbing and vows to start another band that will be ten times bigger than Vesuvius.
Twenty years later, after failing at another cubicle job, breaking up with his girlfriend, and having to move in with his sister, Fish finds himself living in the attic "looking" for work, and is annoyed that Vesuvius has had an astronomical career. When it looks like he'll be a loser for life, his dorky, socially awkward nephew Matt saves the day. Matt (Josh Gad) plays the keyboards in a pop rock band called A.D.D., joined by the dark, brooding Curtis (Teddy Geiger) and the no-nonsense Amelia (Emma Stone). The band is set to play at the prom when their drummer gets thrown out of school. So Matt suggests that they ask his uncle to play the drums for them.The prom turns into a disaster, being Fish's first time on stage in twenty years, and his drum solo takes over the prom King and Queen's dance in a fit of rage, sweat, and sheer embarrassment for the band. Fish tries to make amends by trying to get the band a gig. Eventually, he manages to organize a booking in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The band decides to sneak out in a Dodge Caravan belonging to Fish's sister, but are soon caught by the police after she reports her minivan stolen.When Fish is kicked out of his sister's house and then rents the basement of his favorite Chinese take-out place, the band invents a new way to practice via four-way iChat. Because of the stuffy and hot atmosphere in Fish's new residence, he chooses to practice naked, which quickly makes its way onto YouTube and becomes very popular. A million hits later, A.D.D. signs a contract with David Marshall (Jason Sudeikis), an agent whose obnoxiousness outshines his poseur personality. David takes them on tour.
