A breakout film at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this quirky comedy stars the Frames' Glen Hansard as a Dublin busker looking for love and a record deal. Thanks to his soulful wail, cuts like the excellent "Trying to Pull Myself Away" and "Leave" have a solid roots-rock magnetism. But Hansard's weepy duets with co-star Marketa Irglova ("Falling Slowly," "If You Want Me") just kind of drift along like Coldplay at their worst.
