Leave your thoughts about The Commitments.
| Boston GlobeJay CarrCommitments, adapted by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais from the Roddy Doyle book, exults in its own world. The characters, with their foibles and verbal joustings, are everything. There's something poetically sardonic in every sentence they utter. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonAlan Parker's sexy, hilarious, exuberantly energetic new film, The Commitments, has so much rhythmic juice that it's nearly impossible to stay in your seat. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellThis is a movie to love, that touches you in places you never suspected, that shows you that the road less traveled is the road to your dreams. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt spins its wheels in a giddy sort of way, then puts the pedal to the mettle, lays rubber and fairly takes wing. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumClassic genre movies may be a scarce commodity, but this gutsy crime thriller and female buddy movie qualifies in spades. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonUnabashed, streamlined entertainment, and you won't hate yourself in the morning for liking it. |
| NewsweekJack KrollBegins like an episode of "I Love Lucy" and ends with the impact of "Easy Rider." |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThis is probably Alan Parker's best film, in part because it's one of his most modest. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is filled with life and energy, and the music is honest. The Commitments is one of the few movies about a fictional band that’s able to convince us the band is real and actually plays together. |
| Austin ChronicleKathleen MaherThe movie isn't about the band, really; it's about having a chance when the cards are stacked against it. It's about climbing out. When they sing those great soul songs, it feels like a better world for everyone and that's how Parker manages to get us into his box with him. |
