| User ReviewPhil HThe best comedy never to be released in the UK |
| User ReviewNuala CThis is a good irish film, its got something to say about whats happening in ireland this century - and the climatic scene at the end in the house is really funny |
| User ReviewNicola DWhy are so many Irish films the bloody same...two male leads...one ernest, the other hapless...on some gangster mission of some sort....bloody hell. Who gives a shit? Don't know why this picked up a screenplay award, as it's all a bit too obvious. I loved the constantly sneezing and choking cop though...he was the most entertaining thing in it. |
