19911hr 58min

In the heart of the gritty streets of north Dublin, a young and ambitious Jimmy Rabbitte has a bold vision that sets the town abuzz. "The Commitments" is not just any band; it's a soulful revolution waiting to happen. With determination as fiery as the hair on his head, Jimmy scours the corners of Barrytown to assemble a group of misfits and dreamers who are about to set the music scene on fire.

As the band takes shape, the audience is taken on a wild ride filled with soul-stirring music, hilarious antics, and a whole lot of heart. Led by the larger-than-life Deco and the enigmatic Joey "The Lips" Fagan, "The Commitments" is not just a band - it's a family, a force to be reckoned with. Get ready to tap your feet, laugh out loud, and maybe even shed a tear as you witness the rise, fall, and ultimate triumph of this unforgettable group of unlikely heroes. "The Commitments" isn't just a movie; it's a musical journey you won't want to miss.
