Joyous, “let’s put a band together” story set in mid 80s Dublin.
Chocked with tunes from the era, as well as the band’s own compositions.
The early numbers are dreadfully funny, though the band improves quickly.
Typical of the time, they also make videos, with like a 5p budget.
The female star of the videos is the unreadable girl across the street, who transfixes the lead singer.
No great revelations plotwise in quite likeable film.
Cast is almost perfect. Don’t just watch the videos, watch it whole.
Wonderful movie and great pairing with God Help The Girl.
Just watched and absolutely LOVED this film.
I was 15 in 1985, and to me this movie felt completely authentic in look and sound.
Amazing cast and soundtrack.
Shades of John Hughes... poignant, coming of age and discovering one's identity... a really fantastic funny, touching movie.
Highly recommended!!!
Downloading the soundtrack now from iTunes!
