The film uses elements of musical, romance, and fantasy genres throughout its five act structure. It features changes in cinematography, mise-en-scene, and costumes during musical numbers. While not providing a fantasy solution to the characters' problems, the film aims to entertain music and romance fans with its comedic tale of chasing dreams in 1980s Ireland.
