A weak, unbelievable movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2016)

I wanted to like this movie, but it was so unbelievable that it was impossible. Why was it unbelievable? First of all, the band sounded decent without any effort. He wants a band, finds random people who are talented and voila, they're a polished band. He wants the pretty girl so he walks up to her and she agrees to be in a video. The band itself had no focus; they sounded like Hall and Oates one minute, the Cure the next, etc. The characters had no depth, with the exception of the older brother. This movie has been done before. It was a 1978 TV movie called Cotton Candy. Instead of Ireland it was Texas. Instead of paper thin characters and a watered down plot, it was believable and touching.
