My God this looks awful… just awful.
Nice title…ha ha, right?
Sounds like a one-joke premise, the trailer confirms it.
Yeah, U2 is a really famous Irish rock band. Who in God’s name wants to pay twelve dollars to hear that repeated for two hours?
Is the a movie about a pine tree?
This is Paramount post Dreamworks. They suck just like the old days.
I Like It. Has a “Committments” vibe to it.
Has to be better then this year’s “The Runaways.”
It’s based on a very entertaining book.

I think it looks great. Looking forward to it.
No idea how the movie will be, but the book it’s based on is fucking great.
This was a published book… I got it several years back. It wasn’t bad if I recall, but the author had a pretty big chip on his shoulder.
I just donated it to Goodwill last week. True story.
I think it looks good. The story itself is pretty interesting (based on the book of the same name), so hopefully this will live up to it.
Reminds me of that documentary “Dig!” which would make a great feature film. get on that, development peoples
Looks amazing. Can’t wait to see it. Love U2 no matter what anyone says and love and Everyman story.
love an everyman story – this looks amazing. Love U2 as well!
love this story and have seen the movie and it’s fun. hope it does some business….
Someone had better re-edit this trailer FAST because it’s a mess! What with the almost unintelligible accents and the totally confusing action, I have NO idea what this film is about.
I think it’s either about 2 Irish bands (one succeeds, the other flops) or it’s about a brother who blew a chance to be a success? I don’t know. Like I said, this trailer needs to be totally re-edited in order to make sense. (And it wouldn’t hurt if there were subtitles because I couldn’t understand half of what was said.)
Film was shot last Jan in ireland, (Lisburn I think). Spotted it on FlixelPix. Looks quite funny. The guy who plays Bono actually looks very like him ?
Hey, I think this looks great!
Though the trailer is a little hard to follow, the movie should be a little easily understood.
Hopefully.
It looks like a lot of fun. I will definitely go to see it.
