Patty's Picks: 'Power Ballad' is a mix of humor, heart and music


The comedy-drama “Power Ballad,” starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, is earning strong reviews ahead of its theatrical release, with a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes.


Film critic Patty Spitler gave the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising its blend of friendship, music, and comedy.


“Power Ballad” stars Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, with some critics calling it one of Rudd’s strongest performances to date.


The R-rated film follows a once-successful wedding singer who is past his prime and forms an unlikely friendship with a fading boy band star. Their relationship is tested when the younger musician turns one of the older singer’s songs into a hit, prompting a battle over credit and recognition.


Patty said the film explores how success, ambition, and loyalty can complicate even the strongest friendships. The movie’s mix of humor, heart, and music makes it a solid choice for moviegoers this weekend.
