Let me know if you liked or hated a movie I recommended. - .

I don't know if you will love it or hate it. If you check the reviews on Amazon, they divide between people who love it and people who hate it. The main characters are not nice people under any definition. If that turns you off, and maybe it should, you will not be impressed. But unless you were expecting Mary Poppins, so what.

Music professor visits her sister in the remote mountains of Appalachia when travel tooks days and days. She discovers love ballads which are English, Scot, and Irish ballads and sung like they must have been sung 200 years earlier in England. The area was so isolated, the music had not changed.

Wonderful music. Musically in same tradition as O Brother where art thou?

What can I say - I just loved this movie. You will not be indifferent - its love or what is this? Story is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey. very loosely. Funny, weird. The album when platinum.

I totally agree with John Thomas' review. Its my favorite music oriented film. Love the R&B music in the soundtrack.:
Quite simply, this is one of my all-time favorite films. Based on the first book of Roddy Doyle's Dublin trilogy, The Commitments is more than a story of a bunch of Irish kids forming a soul band. From the harsh realities of poverty to the power of the Irish spirit, this movie is a portrait of life in working class Dublin, and is true to Doyle's book in every way. It is raw and irreverant, extremely funny but also poignant. One of the remarkable aspects of this film is the cast of virtual unknowns - all actually Irish, thank goodness. Andrew Strong, who plays the lead singer, was only about 16 when the movie was filmed, and he did his own vocals. In fact, the cast is extremely musically talented and appears on two very good soundtrack volumes. The one familiar face belongs to veteran actor Colm Meaney (Miles O'Brien on Star Trek TNG/DS9). Meaney also appears in the two other films from the trilogy, The Snapper and The Van. Rent them all and have an Irish film festival! If you want to be entertained with great soul music while being magically whisked away to Dublin, by all means buy this video so you can watch it over and over again.

My favorite music video. A group of dreadful musicians from Finland's tundra, they're so bad that they decide to head for the U. S. --where people will listen to ``anything''--and they set out on tour through the modern wasteland of small-town America. The movie can be hard to find. Their CDs:

Lesley Ann Warren is a barmaid by day and by night she's pickin' and singin' her way to country music stardom.
