VHS Movie Reviews of The Commitments
Movie Review: Commitments DVD Set
Summary: 2 Stars
While the discs look good and play well and the price was very reasonable, the outer cover on this collector's edition is very torn and looks awful. It affects the function of the binding on the nice outer cover wrapping. This was not advertised in item and if it had been, I would not have purchased.
Summary of The Commitments
An irresistible, comic drama from director Alan Parker (Evita, Mississippi Burning), overflowing and alive with passion, humor, and music, The Commitments showcases some old R&B standards in a new light. A headstrong, fast-talking, ambitious young Dubliner (Robert Arkins) fancies himself a promoter of talent, and sets about assembling and packaging a local Irish R&B band. His group of self-absorbed, backbiting, but stunningly talented individuals begin to succeed beyond his wildest dreams, until petty jealousies and recrimination threaten to scuttle the whole deal. A moody, vivid, and soulful exploration of the Dublin club scene as well as a showcase for some wonderful unknown actors, the film (and its wonderful soundtrack) also features the actual band covering classic soul tunes from the likes of Otis Redding and Sam and Dave. It's that combination of soul and soul music that makes The Commitments a special little film. --Robert LaneArt House & International VHS Video
