The Rocker (2008)

Back in 1986 Robert Fishman (Rainn Wilson) was the drummer of a heavy metal hair band called Vesuvius. Unfortunately, he was kicked out of the band when they finally got signed to a record label because the president of the company wanted one of his relatives to be the drummer.

Fast-forward twenty years and Vesuvius is now highly successful and world-famous. "Fish" is in a dead-end job with no place to live because he is still bitter about it. However he gets his second chance when his teenage nephew (Josh Gad) has to ask him to be the drummer for his band, A.D.D. The band is good and quickly become successful. So successful that they have the opportunity to open for legendary Vesuvius.
