About This Movie

The Commitments is a 1991 comedy and drama film directed by Alan Parker. Its leading cast includes Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne and Angeline Ball. It runs for 1 hour 58 minutes. It belongs to The Barrytown Trilogy.

Synopsis

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.
