Fueled by raw talent and driven by dreams of glory, a dozen dead-enders from Dublin's gritty North side share a passion for soul music that takes their band on a wild roller-coaster ride from the streets to the stageto superstardom! Packed with over 4 hours of extras, including audio commentary, brand new songs, and a never-before-seen retrospective documentary, this exhilarating 2-disc DVD is your backstage pass to experience the "world's hardest working band" as never before. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome once again - The Commitments! Reader Reviews I love this movie. I'd love it for the music alone (in fact, I bought the sound track, too) but the earnest 16 year old soul band leader, played by an amazing Andrew Strong, draws in anybody who was willing to climb uphill for something he really enjoyed. Lesser characters also prove to be compelling, such as the teenager who is pressed into service as her siblings' surrogate mom and sees her singing career slide away on a tide of poverty and family responsibility.Worth the price of admission: The Commitments' version of Try A Little Tenderness.
