Gets better every time I see it!

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2001)

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
There are some great dead-pan comedy lines, but the music is what makes "The Commitments." Angeline Ball is fetching as Imelda Quirke. Watch for 17-year-old Andrea Corr, now of the Irish family band The Corrs, in a bit role as Jimmy Rabbitte's sister. And catch director Alan Parker's self-promotion in the video-store sequence.
