First look: 'Pirate Radio'

You'd expect nothing less than an unforgettable comedy from Focus Features and Richard Curtis ("Four Weddings and a Funeral"). Based on actual events, "Pirate Radio" follows seafaring deejays who capture airwaves, defy the government and captivate listeners in 1960s Britain. This looks like the coolest music movie since "Almost Famous." Critics are already raving.

The stellar ensemble cast includes Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans and many other rising stars. The soundtrack has enough clout to be its own character. Expect tunes from The Kinks, The Who, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, etc. The movie rocks into theaters Nov. 13.
