## Resource

John Carney’s “Power Ballad” is a soulful, funny, and unexpectedly moving musical drama starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, blending heartfelt storytelling with irresistibly catchy tunes that stick in your head. It follows two musicians at crossroads in their careers, navigating fame, regret, and vulnerability in a refreshingly grounded, non-cliché way. Rudd delivers a masterclass in quiet humor and raw emotion, while Jonas brings nuanced depth to a role that mirrors his own journey. The music isn’t just background—it’s woven into the characters’ lives, revealing their inner worlds. Expect laughs that sneak up on you, moments that linger long after the credits roll, and a film that’s as emotionally resonant as it is entertaining.
