A washed-up singer and a fading boy-band star become fast friends and faster enemies after a drunken jam session leads to confrontation and conflicting stories over song ownership.
When washed-up singer Rick (Rudd) meets fading boy-band star Danny (Jonas) at a wedding in Ireland, they bond over a drunken jam session sharing songs they’ve been working on. Returning home to LA, Danny takes one of Rick’s songs and turns it into a massive hit, but without acknowledging Rick as the writer.
Determined to claim his recognition (and respect from his wife, daughter and various old rocker bandmates) Rick sets out to confront Danny, no matter the cost!
From the filmmaker behind Sing Street, Once and Begin Again, Power Ballad is a supremely enjoyable comedy and you’ll be humming the “stolen” song for weeks…
