Boat That Rocked (The)

Writer-turned-director Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill) directs a cast comprising the cream of British acting talent—which includes Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill), Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz) and Kenneth Branagh (Henry V), along with one lone American star in the shape of Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) -in this comedy set in Britain in 1966.
