Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin. First he needs musicians and singers: things slowly start to click when he finds three fine-voiced females virtually in his back yard, a lead singer (Deco) at a wedding, and, responding to his ad, an aging trumpet player, Joey "The Lips" Fagan.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie 'The Commitments' is a celebrated drama about forming a soul band in Dublin. Based on the provided plot summary and genre information, there are no indications that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution."
