This typically slick but largely enjoyable Alan Parker offering is the story of the rise and demise of a young Irish soul band.

Memorable, lingering in one's mind after it has ended. Perhaps, in the end, it's a tad wiser than it initially lets on.

This is probably Alan Parker's best film, in part because it's one of his most modest.
March 10, 2008
Sharply written and executed with real verve, this is an enduring and enjoyable comedy-drama that showcases some great performances both on and off-stage.

Foul-mouthed, fast-talking and very funny, this is Parker's best to date.

Joyous '90s musical-drama has lots of profanity.
August 20, 2008
The film offers no message, no solutions, only a great time at the movies.

It's a relaxed, colorful creation, remaining true to rascally human behaviors while respecting the unifying power of music. Downright irresistible.

Mr. Parker is capable of whipping a series of quick, well-edited snippets into a happy collage of musical high spirits.

Does a remarkable job of balancing a feel of lower-class life with the sheer exuberance the music brings.

Director Alan Parker's story of a band of young Dubliners playing American '60s soul is fresh, well-executed and original.

Parker keeps going for the glitz. He may have shot The Commitments in Ireland, but his soul never left Hollywood.
