Jimmy Rabbitte, just a tick 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.

Keywords: dublin, ireland, ireland, cult film, irish music
Triggers
- horses dying: The body, not the death is shown, and it is explained how the horse died. It’s being used as a dark comedic gag.
- animals (besides dog/cat/horse) dying
- dead animals
- alcohol abuse: Someone gets really drunk in the beginning at a wedding and doesn’t remember singing.
- sexual assault: Groping that’s normalized and brushed off
- shaving or cutting: Hair cut?
- cheating: Girl is suggested to have cheated on her fiancé
- shower scenes: Jimmy in the bath. He’s giving pretend interviews. Nothing graphic, almost childlike.
- farting or spitting
- hospital scenes
- obscene language/gestures
- crying babies
- babies/unborn
- ableism
- fat jokes
- sexual content: Nothing graphic, no nudity. Kissing, gross and rude misogynistic comments, etc.
- blood or gore: REALLY brief walk by moment in the hospital of someone with bloody head injury. He’s walking though.
The Commitments
They had nothing to lose, they risked it all.
