Plot
A group of unemployed young Dubliners forms a soul band and rises quickly, but personal rivalries threaten it.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alan Parker's Dublin soul-band comedy is rowdy, funny and full of great singing. Its non-professional cast brings real energy, and the squabbling band feels both hilarious and true.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
