Episode Details

John Carney’s new film “Power Ballad” follows Paul Rudd as Rick, a washed-up wedding band musician, and Nick Jonas as Danny, a fading boy band star, whose paths collide over a song Rick wrote — only for Danny to cash in on it as his own massive hit. As Rick fights for credit and validation, the film unravels from its promising start, struggling with implausible plot twists and a lack of authentic character chemistry. Though the catchy central song adds flair, the movie ultimately feels like a solid B-side in Carney’s catalog — emotionally resonant but not quite hitting the highs of his past masterpieces.
