Power Ballad is a 2026 musical comedy-drama directed by John Carney, starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas. The story follows Rick Power (Rudd), a Dublin-based wedding singer who bonds with former boy-band star Danny Wilson (Jonas), only to have Danny steal Rick's original song to launch his own solo career. After Danny's version becomes a massive hit, Rick desperately fights for recognition, culminating in a confrontation in Los Angeles—though the truth is ultimately proven when Rick's daughter discovers a home video of him singing the song to her as a toddler. The film premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival on March 1, 2026, and hit select theaters on May 29 before expanding wide on June 5. It received positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Rudd and Jonas, and features the original track "How to Write a Song Without You" alongside covers of Bryan Adams and Thin Lizzy.
