Power Ballad
When Rick, a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny 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.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly charmed by this tale of a stolen song, thanks almost entirely to Paul Rudd's reliably likable performance as a down-on-his-luck wedding singer. The story itself is pleasant but predictable, hitting familiar notes about creative rivalry and redemption without many surprises. While Nick Jonas gets a mixed reception as the boy-band star who steals the hit, director John Carney's knack for music-driven heart and humor comes through, making for a sweet, if somewhat slight, watch.
