overview
What is The Commitments about?
They had nothing to lose, they risked it all. Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin. First he needs musicians and singers: things slowly start to click when he finds three fine-voiced females virtually in his back yard, a lead singer (Deco) at a wedding, and, responding to his ad, an aging trumpet player, Joey "The Lips" Fagan. It blends comedy, drama, music elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Alan Parker. With a runtime of 1h 58m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
