Sing Street – 7

There can never be too many movies about misfit high schoolers who form a rock band to get the girl of their dreams (although the Swedish We’re the Best was the exception proving the rule). This one from Ireland was a bit of a stretch, although the impossibly good music the tyro band produced was pleasanter on the ear than reality would have been. In the end, like most rom-coms, it came down to how much one enjoyed watching the young lovers, not to mention suspending disbelief as they motored, penniless, off to sea.
