vishnu-dileep08 Summary (no spoilers) This movie is about a couple who can't stop fighting jump on a last effort to save their marriage by turning their fights into songs and starting a band.My Review (no spoilers)The plot to me does not make any sense for example turning your fights into songs which contains lyrics filled with the F word who does that you're supposed to meet a counselor to save your marriage and am not a fan of sarcastic jokes too. Zoe and Adam did their parts well but this was not the movie to show their talents in. overall a bad movie with a bad plot I personally did not like it.My RecommendationNo, I did not like this movie so I would not recommend this.My Rating0/10

Movie_Muse_Reviews Independent comedies are full of single young adults trying to navigate life or falling in and out of love, but there aren't any depictions of modern marital discord. In comes Zoe Lister-Jones with her directorial debut, "Band Aid," starring her and Adam Pally as a constantly bickering couple who try starting a band as their own form of couples therapy."Band Aid" is a concept-driven comedy to be sure, but it doesn't dictate the confines of the story Lister-Jones wants to tell. The heart of the film is this couple, Anna and Ben, navigating an early low of their marriage in the face of external pressures from their parents and friends with babies and pressure from with (and from each other) with regards to their struggling careers.Just like some of the best films and TV shows today about single young adults strike a resonant and familiar chord with the struggles of single young adults, "Band Aid" has its best moments when it hits the nail on the head of marital fighting and the other inglorious sides of committed relationships, and not just in the gendered way reminiscent of older sitcoms. What's really nice about Lister-Jones' script is she doesn't stoop to bringing in outside romantic interests/infidelity to create intrigue or send the film down the overly beaten paths of romantic comedies and dramas in which there's a misunderstanding that's unforgivable in one character's eyes and then there's some big showy moment of reconciliation. The conflict instead comes from Anna and Ben taking things out on each other, dealing low verbal blows and making poor (but feasible) choices, then working on themselves and on their relationship to repair the damage.To avoid going on and on about the drama, the film also has plenty of laughs – aside from the humor of listening to two characters have arguments that sound familiar. The cast is full of gifted/experienced comic actors; Lister-Jones is clearly good at making friends. From Fred Armisen as the creepy, sex-addicted neighbor who plays drums to Susie Essman and Lister-Jones' former collaborators including Brooklyn Decker, Hannah Simone ("New Girl") and even a cameo by Colin Hanks, there are tons of familiar faces who absolutely understand the tone this film is going for. There's a lot of sharp, awkward humor and an unabashed attitude toward taboos that create an environment of honesty around the film, allowing the more serious moments feel real. Small details like the couple's enjoyment of recreational drugs, for example, communicate to the audience that these characters aren't pristine, while also normalizing those behaviors and making the point that people do drugs and that's really not what's wrong with them or their relationship.There are a lot of creators getting credited with being a voice of their generation (e.g. Aziz Ansari, Lena Dunham) and Lister-Jones creates something on par with these contemporary voices. "Band Aid" isn't getting the attention of "Master of None" or "The Big Sick" and similar shows and films that feel relevant right now, especially to 20- and 30-somethings, but fans of that style of content should add it to their watch lists. ~Steven CThanks for reading!

ahmadshah2370 It is a nice drama. I did not know the actress was the director herself, and her acting was so good and real, I would follow her acting in other films too. The chemistry between two central characters was so genuine and realistic, it was really refreshing. The setup is about a struggling couple who are facing economic and emotional problems, and then they try to vent their fight into songs by making a band. But if you expect something like "August Rush" or "Once" or "Music and lyrics", you might be disappointed. It is actually a family drama, with may be no memorable songs.I believe all those divorces everywhere in the society, such movie sends a very good message. We need to deal with our problems with a try to understand each other more. I had few laughs during the movie, and some dialogues were pretentious, but still, it is a refreshing one. Zoe Lister-Jones should try to write more. And I wish more people watch this drama. Giving rating as 8, as this kind movie cannot get ratings like 10 out of 10, but hope IMDb would retain a 7+ rating for this movie, which it deserves without any doubt.
