The film loosely recreates the story of young Irish rocker McCormick and his younger brother, Ivan, who attempt to become rock stars but can only look on as their secondary school friends form U2 and become the biggest band in Ireland.

Read the novel first
I do think the novel is better but I had a great time with this film. Krysten Ritter was the cherry on top!

Two brothers, one dream and one REAL band
Watched this movie soooo many times and never get tired of it. The plot, two brothers, Ivan & Neil McCormick dream of starting their own band and making their way to the top in 1980s London/Ireland but instead their childhood friends of U2 are ambitious and successful in their careers of music. However, Neil calls all of the shots, making bad decisions that prevent both him and his Ivan of living the dream that U2 have now sought. Great movie, highly recommended!!!

Decent movie but the book was much better
U2 was the soundtrack to my youth and they, amazingly, continue to not suck even though they have been famous for so long. Decent movie but the book was much better, as it more accurately portrays the real relationship between all concerned. The book even has a foreward from Bonno, so you know he gets the humor in it all. The movie deviates significantly from reality and even what was portrayed in the book. For instance, the gun thing never happened and was added by writers doing the screenplay for sow drama and action, pretty disturbing but whatever. Anyway, the movie is not bad and worth seeing but the book it's based on is really great.

Loved it!
I love my man, Ben. What a brilliant actor and singer. I'm so glad I finally got to buy this film. It is a definite must for anyone! Plus I had no idea that it's based off of a true story, which made the movie even more amazing.

Great movies for people that love U2..
The era is the late 1970's/80's...start of U2 fame and their competition...another Dublin band. It is hysterical..especially seen from the viewpoint of the lead singer of the other group who are trying to find themselves. Laughed me head off...

Sapevo che sarei diventato famoso...(Neil Mc Cormick)
Film ben fatto,ispirato (ma solo ispirato) all'omonimo libro di Neil Mc Cormick...che sarebbe diventato famosissimo se...non fosse cresciuto e andato a scuola con Bono degli U2...che lo ha un po' lasciato in ombra...il film,per esigenze di copione e chiaramente di incassi dice cose mai successe in realtà al nostro eroe...e ancora una volta purtroppo il libro é meglio...ma vale la pena comunque farsi quattro risate con questo film,ben confezionato e ben prodotto...poi però leggetevi il libro...riderete e capirete ancora di più...Comunque film da vedere...per me 5 stelle (nel suo genere).

Molto carino
Tecnicamente non ho notato problemi, l'audio non è in italiano e non sono presenti i sottotitoli in italiano, però con quelli in inglese se si ha una discreta conoscenza della lingua è ben comprensibile.Film fatto molto bene, divertente.
