Music= brilliant Movie= needed to be a lot better

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2017)

I never heard or ever seen an Irish movie like "The Commitments" that is based on soul music and getting a band as if it were the Blues Brothers (which is way better I'm afraid). I absolutely loved the music, that was what kept me watching this movie, but I think it would been a lot better if there wasn't any involvement with the whole group bickering the whole time and then breaking up because of it. It kinda made the movie itself more distasteful in my opinion like c'mon not all of us Irish like to be snobs and on top of each other! I thought they made Andrew Strong's character a sleaze bag and like, it didn't really suit his role to be a doofus, I prefer if he was more of a chilled and hippie like person yknow. He was brilliant at the same time with singing like a legend, its too bad he didn't make a big career out of it!
I'm afraid I have to give this movie a 6/10, I think the storyline and the character of Strong's characterization would need TLC here even if this was based in a novel!
