An amusingly fluffy musical biopic.

While Barnes and Sheehan are persuasive as the squabbling siblings, the music-biz mockery is blunt and obvious.

A charming admixture of "Goodfellas" and "Almost Famous," "Killing Bono" is a fanciful rock tale that is nevertheless based on a true story.

It is a shame, but after its intriguing opening, Killing Bono squanders all of its promise.
