Fairly Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2015)

Jon, a young wanna-be musician, discovers he has bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender).
How to categorize this film? While it has comic elements, it is not outright funny. But it is no drama, and definitely not action or romance. It just has a subtle, quirky vibe, like a subdued Wes Anderson film, perhaps. With a bit of Irish mixed in.
Whatever it is, it is enjoyable.And that head, oh my, that head. Thank you very much for putting Fassbender under he head and not Johnny Depp as originally planned. Depp is old news, Fassbender is the new hotness.
