Movies

A group of working-class Irish youths assemble a soul band in this infectious comedy. The cast, made up mostly of non-actors, performed their own music.

The recommendations finally broke me down. Couple them with my newfound access to DVDs through the mail and consider The Commitments knocked off my list of movies to see.

The Commitments is a unique film. Based on a Roddy Doyle novel, the characters performed most of the music for the movie. The vision is to bring soul to the lower and middle classes in Dublin. A group of misfits is assembled and polished into a surprisingly talented band.

This really was a fun movie. I liked it a lot. The music was great, the story moved along well, the ending was just how I could have imagined it. Thank you for the recommendations, but don't let them go to your heads. I think you'll like it.
