2008 Back to School Movie Guide
Photo 3 of 22
The Rocker
Cast: Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, Bradley Cooper and Teddy Geiger
Release date: August 20
Why you should see it: Wilson, Dwight Schrute himself, gets the chance to be over-the-top loony with another character: Robert "Fish" Fishman, a musician who was kicked out of '80s band Vesuvius ... just before the group became wildly successful. Now, he's getting a second chance at realizing his dream by joining his nephew's high school band.
Box office bottom line: Wilson has largely struck out on the big screen so far (do you even know anyone who saw The Last Mimzy?), but Fish is that same kind of goofy, so dorky you have to love him type of guy that Wilson plays on The Office, and this could be his movie breakout. Plus, how can you not love the idea of a Dwight Schrute/Kelly Bundy hookup?
