Writer-director John Carney has fashioned a lilting quasi-romantic drama with music with Once, a slight, scruffy little charmer. Made on a microbudget with two decidedly appealing performers who are as far away from movie stars as one could get, Once tells a sweet, simple story punctuated with offbeat tunes and offering the kind of male-female friendship that is a rare thing indeed in movies of this century.
