Where to watch The Commitments (1991) tonight
The Commitments (1991) runs 1 h 58 min, is rated R in the US and averages 7.3 from 636 TMDB members. 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.
