Finally watched The Commitments last night. After seeing Once last year, Lani asked me to get The Commitments from Netflix since it also has Glen Hansard in it. Well, after six months of waiting for her to finally watch it, I finally said "I'm watching it tonight and sending it back. You can't really complain I didn't give you enough time."

Now, while Lani was just interested in seeing more of Hansard, I actually read the book years ago and loved it. In fact I love the whole Barrytown Trilogy from Roddy Doyle. They're near perfection and it is really too bad that I haven't cared for much that he's written since then (The Woman Who Walked Into Doors was fine but the rest I haven't even finished).

Anyway, so I actually had a fair bit of interest in watching the movie. Unfortunately, I can't say I was too thrilled by it. Nothing really bad about it but the soul-singing Irish band was an idea that played much more humorously in print than in reality. It was too much just a concert film, and a concert film of quality Motown covers at that.

So, no complaints that I can really make but I'd have been happy sticking with just the book.
