The Commitments - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 1991 and running a little long at 118 minutes a took 1 and 1/2 stars off for the length and a mostly unknown cast over here as it's a UK picture and the accents can also be annoying.That said,its a good,funny irrevrant comedy. White trash Irish meet low down black soul in Dublin and we're off on a fun ride with Star Treks Colm Meaney as the dad who LOVES Elvis as his son is forming this"Black Irish"band.Must see if you want to see something completely different.Trailer URL follows the pix  and a IMDB summary below.

The travails of Jimmy Rabbitte to form the "World's Hardest Working Band," The Commitments, and bring soul music to the people of Dublin, Ireland.
