A bluray review:
"The Boat that Rocked’ is set adrift on Blu-ray with a very good Region Free 1080p VC-1 encoded transfer of this recent movie, framed in its theatrical widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1.The pale British skin tones are faithfully reproduced and the image is sharp with healthy levels of contrast throughout.
The DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack really does rock like the boat with period music from a wide range of artists. The DJ dialogue is crisp and intelligible while the waves buffet the walls of your lounge courtesy of the surrounds and subwoofer.Among the extras we have an interesting comm. track, a shovel load of deleted scenes as well as a raft of mini featurettes.
As a movie it’s a humorous tale of pirate radio, filled with on board antics as our heroes battle with a spoilsport British Government of the day to broadcast their own kind of music. Worth a spin."
Its RRP was £24.99 on bluray, £19.99 on DVD
DVD sales within the first week: 53648 copies earning £659,502

Film Reviews
Different film reviews:
Online reviews of film:
"Poor storyline
Poor execution
Way too long
Incredibly disappointing film!!"
http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_info/m11601/The_Boat_That_Rocked/
"Having been there ( secretly listening to radio Caroline under the pillow as a youngster) and growing up to the music of the sixties, it was both nostalgic and funny." http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_info/m11601/The_Boat_That_Rocked/
"In Whitehall, thin-lipped minister Kenneth Branagh – wearing specs like Burt Lancaster's in Sweet Smell of Success – has decreed that pirate radio must be routed. To this end he hires a mandarin to nobble the Radio Rock crew. The name of this mandarin? Twatt. And the name of his assistant? Miss Clitt. It makes the later Carry On films look like Sheridan. Truly, it's a chilling moment when you realise that this whole film is in the hands of a man who thinks "Twatt" is a hilarious name for a character." The Independent
The reviews will have influenced people on whether or not they went to see the film, or bought the bluray DVD etc. The mixed review response will have meant that many people that read the reviews would have been doubtful about the quality of the film, lessening the sales figures.
