What movie genre is "The Rocker"?

The Rocker is a comedy movie.

Released in 2008, The Rocker is an American comedy film directed by Peter Cattaneo. Rainn Wilson stars as Robert “Fish” Fishman, a drummer who gets a second chance at music after joining a band made up largely of high-school students.

The story combines workplace-style embarrassment, teenage-band awkwardness, and music-industry satire. Fish had previously been removed from the rock band Vesuvius just before it became successful, so his later attempt to find recognition again drives much of the humor.

The film also includes musical performances and is sometimes described as a comedy-music film, but “comedy” is its principal genre and the best single answer. A neighboring fact readers often ask about is the cast: Josh Gad, Emma Stone, Teddy Geiger, and Christina Applegate appear alongside Wilson. The movie was released in the United States on August 20, 2008.
