This typically slick but largely enjoyable Alan Parker offering is the story of the rise and demise of a young Irish soul band.
March 10, 2008
Director Alan Parker's story of a band of young Dubliners playing American '60s soul is fresh, well-executed and original.
March 10, 2008
Sharply written and executed with real verve, this is an enduring and enjoyable comedy-drama that showcases some great performances both on and off-stage.

Parker keeps going for the glitz. He may have shot The Commitments in Ireland, but his soul never left Hollywood.
June 06, 2008
Does a remarkable job of balancing a feel of lower-class life with the sheer exuberance the music brings.
September 06, 2016
Joyous '90s musical-drama has lots of profanity.
August 20, 2008
The film offers no message, no solutions, only a great time at the movies.
June 24, 2006
Foul-mouthed, fast-talking and very funny, this is Parker's best to date.
August 16, 2011
It's a relaxed, colorful creation, remaining true to rascally human behaviors while respecting the unifying power of music. Downright irresistible.
March 10, 2008
This is probably Alan Parker's best film, in part because it's one of his most modest.
August 29, 2016
Memorable, lingering in one's mind after it has ended. Perhaps, in the end, it's a tad wiser than it initially lets on.
New York Times
May 20, 2003
Mr. Parker is capable of whipping a series of quick, well-edited snippets into a happy collage of musical high spirits.
