Top Ten Reasons to Rent the movie, "Once"

10. It's a really cool love story with some semblance of morality.
9. You'll feel cool because you are watching and supporting a cool independent film.
8. The music is awesome (you'll want to download it).
7. The actors are musicians that can only half act (according to the director), so it feels like a true story.
6. The lead actor is the lead singer of The Frames, his bassist is the writer/director.
5. The title characters are called "guy" and "girl."
4. It's a low budget film (made for 160,000) so they had no permits to film on the streets of Dublin, Ireland.
3. It was filmed with a long lens, so the extras don't even know they're in the movie.
2. You get to hear the first ever song written about a "broken-hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy" (you can even download it on iTunes - I get a good chuckle every time I listen to it).
1. It's an awesome movie going/musical experience. Trust me, it's worth your time.*

*It is rated R due to the F-bomb being dropped frequently (but it's with a happy Irish accent;)


Let me know if you like it...
