Owen Wilson stars in 'Rolling Loud: The Movie,' a comedy that follows a by-the-book dad who brings his 13-year-old son to the Rolling Loud music festival, only to lose him in the chaos. The film, directed by Jeremy Garelick, premiered on October 2, 2023, and features a cast including Matt Rife, Christine Ko, and Henry Winkler, alongside musical guests like Travis Scott.
The plot centers around Hank, a furniture salesman played by Wilson, who sneaks his son Zion (Christian Convery) into the festival against his wife's wishes. The film's trailer showcases the chaotic and loud environment of the event, with Wilson's character struggling to navigate the festival.
Critics have been harshly critical of the film's execution. The Hollywood Reporter's review described it as 'a bad idea, terribly executed,' noting that every choice in the film gets worse and there's no easy way out.
With a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes, 'Rolling Loud: The Movie' is rated R for its content, which includes scenes of drug use and partial nudity, making it unsuitable for younger audiences.
