Trivia
Ferdia Walsh-Peelo's father and uncles attended the real Synge Street Christian Brothers School.

Goofs
The Lalor family watches Duran Duran's video for "Rio" - Duran Duran: Rio (1982) - on Top of the Pops (1964). Brendan claims it could go either way as to whether or not they succeed; however, the song was released in 1982 and the film takes place in 1985, by which time Duran Duran was already an extremely successful band and a household name.

Quotes
Conor: It's like, when you don't know someone, they're more interesting. They can be anything you want them to be.
Eamon: Yeah?
Conor: But when you know them, there's limits to them.

Crazy credits
One of the disclaimers in the closing credits: "This is a period film. Synge Street School, like much of Ireland, was a very different place in the 1980's [sic] than it is now. Today Synge Street School is a progressive, multi-cultural school with an excellent academic record and a committed staff of teachers."

My Favorite movie of 2016 so far.

The movie to beat this summer isn't a superhero movie.Its a movie about a teenager forming a band to try and impress a girl. What a wonderful and beautiful movie this. I was smiling and hugging myself throughout. So light and warm hearted and funny and yet deep and powerful. The Music is amazing even the original songs are fantastic. It is directed by the great John Carney who directed one of my favorite movies about music, Once. This is one of the best coming of age stories I've ever seen. It stands with Say Anything, Stand By ME, Perks of Being a wallflower, The fault in our stars. Please just go watch this movie. Please. I Loved it. ***** out of 5.
