More retro than renegade, Pirate Radio is buoyed by spirited performances and infectious tunes.
This lightweight British comedy is set in 1966 and captures a sense of the era through its costumes, production design, dialogue and, above all, its top-notch soundtrack. While the tale of rogue disc jockeys who defied the government and broadcast rock 'n' roll beyond U.K. territorial waters can grow choppy, watching it is like lazing on a sunny afternoon with old pals.
