Product Description

From Amazon.com

An irresistible, comic drama from director Alan Parker (Evita, Mississippi Burning), overflowing and alive with passion, humor, and music, The Commitments showcases some old R&B standards in a new light. A headstrong, fast-talking, ambitious young Dubliner (Robert Arkins) fancies himself a promoter of talent, and sets about assembling and packaging a local Irish R&B band. His group of self-absorbed, backbiting, but stunningly talented individuals begin to succeed beyond his wildest dreams, until petty jealousies and recrimination threaten to scuttle the whole deal. A moody, vivid, and soulful exploration of the Dublin club scene as well as a showcase for some wonderful unknown actors, the film (and its wonderful soundtrack) also features the actual band covering classic soul tunes from the likes of Otis Redding and Sam and Dave. It's that combination of soul and soul music that makes The Commitments a special little film. --Robert Lane

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Must See, Feb 22 2012

This review is from: The Commitments (DVD)
This is a great movie. The storyline is solid while the actors/musicians are unknown. The music pulls everything together. It is hard to understand why these group of unknown artists did not make it big. It is a rags to riches, back to rags story. A must see!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie. Great music. Miserable DVD., Aug 20 2003
By 
Andrew R. Wierling (Smyrna, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Commitments (Full Screen) (DVD)
One of the better movies you've probably never heard of... The music is simply outstanding, but with or without the music, the movie itself is excellent. Very funny, although I had a bit of a hard time at first with the accents (my shortcoming, I'm sure)... I would have given it 5 stars, but unfortunately, the DVD is atrocious - full frame, horrible picture, no 5.1 re-mix, and no extras to speak of... We need this movie done right !
