Power Ballad
When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves—even if it means risking everything he cares about.
From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), Power Ballad is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition."The film’s real secret weapon might be its complete command of tone. Power Ballad is a comedy that pokes fun at Rick’s middle-aged dorkiness or Danny’s very L.A. excesses without reducing either to a caricature, and ribs the entertainment biz but takes the art seriously...It’s an earnest mash note to the power of music that resists over-sentimentalizing its sacrifices, or overstating its rewards."—Angie Han, Hollywood Reporter.
