What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Runarounds puts songs and stage scenes alongside the less glamorous business of getting a band off the ground: awkward gigs, bar and club sets, and road trips in beat-up cars. Its coming-of-age comedy stays upbeat and affectionate, finding humor in young musicians trying to make a career while still figuring out everyday life.

Day jobs at an amusement park and a café share space with rehearsals and performances, so best friends are also bandmates and co-workers. That overlap gives the comedy a familiar messiness, with working together tangled up in hanging out together. Loyal friendships and family ties keep the story warm, even when the route from a small town to a music career gets awkward.
