September 28, 2009Bunch of lower class Irish start a band...and that's about it. Okay, so along the way they produce some good music, cheer up a few people and work from a strong scrip, but the absolute lack of plot leaves this film flat.

September 15, 2009This is a great fun movie based on the Roddy Doyle book. It pokes great fun at all the normal band cliches and has some really great song numbers and a really killer soundtrack. Lots of funny one-liners and a great naturalistic setting.
