Power Ballad
Synopsis
After a chance meeting, wedding band front man Rick (Paul Rudd) drunkenly jams with former boy-band sensation Danny (Nick Jonas). Six months later, Rick is astounded to discover their impromptu song has skyrocketed to global fame, yet Danny receives all the glory. As Danny’s solo career takes flight, Rick fights for recognition. However, in his relentless pursuit of fame, fortune, and the rockstar life he’s dreamed of having, Rick risks losing a grip on his real fortune—his wife, daughter, and cherished friends back home.
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.
Screening at Luna Leederville from May 28.

Reviews
A plain crowdpleaser through and through
Carney has become a sort of Irish version of Nancy Meyers for working-class dreamers... Carney’s instincts for music in cinema remain unmatched.
★★★★ Paul Rudd's finest.
Carney proves once again that music can bridge the gap between who we are and who we want to be, underscoring the magic of collaboration. Sweet, dramatically intense and creatively rich.
Its sincere heart shines through in the script, performances, and music in a way that you can’t help but love.
