The trailer for the upcoming movie Power Ballad, starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, is now available. The film is a comedy-drama set in Dublin and tells the story of Rick, a wedding singer whose career is on the decline, and Danny, a former boy band star facing a similar situation.
Danny and Rick connect through music, but their friendship hits a snag when Danny uses one of Rick’s songs to boost his own career. This leads Rick to fight for the credit he feels he’s owed, even if it means jeopardizing important relationships.
The first trailer highlights the growing connection between the two characters. Rick realizes just how popular the song has become when Danny shares during a performance that it profoundly impacted his life.
Rick became angry and things escalated, after Danny pointed out that making a popular song is challenging.
The film Power Ballad, directed and co-written by John Carney (known for Once), had its first showing last week at the Dublin International Film Festival.

A Letterboxd user said they really loved the movie, especially the great chemistry between Paul Rudd and Joe Jonas.
Someone else shared that they saw the movie at its Dublin International Film Festival premiere and really enjoyed it. They described it as a very funny film where most of the jokes were successful.
One reader described the story as enjoyable, upbeat, and captivating, though they felt it occasionally became overly earnest. They also praised its strong writing and originality, and appreciated the realistic depiction of Ireland, concluding it was a thoroughly pleasant experience.
Carney recently shared his excitement about the project, saying he’s thrilled to be collaborating with a talented team. He and Peter McDonald have been developing the script for years, and now they’re working with Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, who are even visiting his home.
You know, what really strikes me about John’s music is how he doesn’t just make songs, he builds entire worlds with them. It’s the kind of stuff that just grabs you and makes you feel things, and I think anyone can connect with that. That’s what Alex Walton from WME told me, and honestly, I totally agree!
Power Ballad is due out in UK and Irish cinemas on 29 May.
