The Commitments - 1991 - 7/10
Jimmy decides to manage a soul band in Dublin.
Problem, there is no soul band, so he decides to form one.
Adverts, auditions, rehearsals, disastrous gigs.
Experienced viewers can easily predict how feel-good this will go.
Think again, Farquar, as Jimmy has unerringly selected individuals who detest each other.
Songs are first rate. Very funny film, although some of the Irish humor escapes me.
Film debut of Maria Doyle (Kennedy).
