The Hollywood Reporter writes, "Like the catchiest pop hits, it’s a little bit familiar, a little bit unexpected and utterly, thrillingly satisfying," while The Guardian adds, "Irish writer-director John Carney delivers an aspartame rush of enjoyment with this terrific comedy of bromance and betrayal in the world of music."

Movie - Power Ballad
"Power Ballad" plays Sunday, Sept. 13, at 4 and 7 p.m. at ISU's Bengal Theater. Starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, a past-his-prime wedding singer and a fading boy-band star bond during a late-night jam session, and the rock star turns one of the wedding singer's songs into a massive hit without permission to use it, prompting a fight for proper recognition. The Hollywood Reporter writes, "Like the catchiest pop hits, it’s a little bit familiar, a little bit unexpected and utterly, thrillingly satisfying," while The Guardian adds, "Irish writer-director John Carney delivers an aspartame rush of enjoyment with this terrific comedy of bromance and betrayal in the world of music." Admission is $3 for the public, $2 for ISU staff/faculty, and free for ISU students with a valid Bengal ID. For trailer and more info, go to www.isucinema.com/power.
