Short description

The true story of Neil and Ivan McCormick, two Irish brothers who attempt to become rock stars but can only look on as their high school friends U2 become the biggest band in the world.

What's left behind the scenes

The screenplay is based on the autobiography of Neil McCormick, a rock journalist for The Telegraph.
For Pete Postlethwaite, the film was his last. He passed away from cancer in January 2011.
In the scene where Bono talks to Neil on the phone, the bandage on Bono's arm moves from his right arm to his left between shots.
This film proved to be the final role for Pete Postlethwaite, who passed away from cancer in January 2011.
