  Good movie if you like soul music
Review created: 05/07/09(updated 05/07/09)

Fun movie, bit rough on the language, so be careful about young ears. It's kind of like Rocky for the soul music scene.

The sound track is great. The story line is good. If you've ever been in garage bands, you see the similarities to trying to make it big.

The actors in the movie can sing. THey all had awesome voices, especially the lead singer and the three female back up singers. I enjoyed the movie very much and would watch it again. I hoped they would've stayed together at the end. They were awesome. Great movie!

I had this movie in the VHS format and it was time to get the DVD
I've been a profesional and part time musician and I like this movie 'cause is the closest portrait of what beeing in a band is all about (Unfortunately)
The DVD came within reasonable time and properly packaged.

I had borrowed the DVD not having any idea of what it was about. The English accents were a little difficult to understand, but I just turned on the subtitles. Really enjoyed this movie and really loved the music. Classic motown tunes.

This is a true story about a band from Dublin, Ireland. The movie tells the story of the band and stars all the original band members. Good soul music and a great singer! If you are (or were) in a band, you will really appreciate this movie!!!

Review created: 05/05/08

One of my favorite kick-back and enjoy movies. It is totally unique; dark blue collar Dublin with dry humor and fabulous music. If you enjoy "The Tudors," you will be most intrigued by the 'other' side of Maria Doyle Kennedy (Queen Katherine of Aragon) -- the lady can really, really sing Motown, with an Irish twist, of course! Just love this film - FIVE STARS.

I purchased a DVD and was sent the wrong one. Seller never responded back to me, and after filing a claim with ebay and Paypal, never heard anything from anyone. I can only assume that ebay and Paypal either support or help scams like this. Once is an education and twice your a fool. I will not be a fool and let ebay allow me to be ripped off.

  Why I enjoy the Commitments (Irish Movie)
Review created: 03/11/07
by:

I saw this movie in Tel Aviv when I was in the military and really loved the story and the humor. It is a tale of the underdog doing well and finding out that you might have been better off just being happy instead of famous. It was sent quickly and the product was exactly as promised. It was a hard to find movie at the big stores.

  A Story With Soul
Review created: 12/06/06
by:

This movie is an endearing romp through one man's dream of putting together a local band playing soul music in Dublin, Ireland. It traces the formation of the group, practice sessions and gigs while giving glimpses into the personal lives of the band members. I like the way the film builds not only the story, but the music. At the beginning, the soul sound is thin as evidenced by the slight voices of the backup singers and musicians. But with practice, the girls learn to belt out Aretha Franklin with the best, and the band gains a rich, full sound. Even the lead singer improves as the film progresses. The music makes you want to get up and dance. There is only one drawback to the movie. The dialog is in English, but with an Irish accent which is a little difficult to understand by American ears. It tweaks the brain, but becomes more comfortable as the movie unfolds. Although this is not a Hollywood blockbuster, I found the film complete and satisfying especially when it told what happened to the band members after the demise of the band.

The movie has a killer sound track. Some of the singers sing the old standard songs better than some of the original performers. Good story. Recommended.
