Quirkily funny

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2015)

Quirkily funny movie about a rock band with a lead singer (played by Michael Fassbender) who constantly wears a plastic head to hide his identity. Told through the eyes of the newly-recruited keyboardist, played by Domhnall Gleeson.
Is essentially a comedy. Had some potential to poke fun at some aspects of the music industry, or at least show what life in a band is like, but doesn't really use these opportunities.
However, is very funny at times. The humour is dry, and often not obvious. Physical comedy this is not, despite the aforementioned fake- headed singer.
Ultimately, likable but not substantial. Lacked any great themes. It needed something more to make it special.
