Once

Last night I saw the little Irish movie that could. Once had been recommended to me by 4 people, and I agree with them. It is a nice little movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The style of the songs is not really my kind of thing, but I can see that these are good songs and they help to develop the characters and move the story along.

Two funny points: When our protagonists go to a bank to try to secure a small loan to pay for studio time, and the bank manager whips out his guitar and sings his own song. That was great. And second, when our hero is looking for some backing musicians and the guys he asks need to know if they will be covering Thin Lizzy because “we only play Lizzy”.
