Twenty-something Alan (Gleeson) is down on his luck. Stood up at the altar and recently fired from his banking job, he finds himself working with his mother as a part-time tourist advisor at Dublin Airport. It's there he comes face to face with first love Alice (Paré), stuck on standby for a flight home to New York. Their summer romance ended eight years previously with Alan promising to return to the US one day. He never did, and they haven't spoken since. Seizing his chance, Alan convinces a reluctant Alice to stay one more night in Dublin. Over the course of an unforgettable evening, they may just realise that they are more compatible than ever. But time is running out on this brief encounter. When does an unexpected second chance, become the one you've always been looking for?
Leave your thoughts about Standby.
| Film Ireland MagazineEllen MurrayStandby brings a breath of fresh air to the rom-com genre and leaves on it a decisively Irish stamp. A must watch. |
| Total FilmPhilip KempOk, you can guess how it'll end - but getting there is a delight. |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Hilary A WhiteFor all Pare's toothy charms and Gleeson's good-natured bumbling, a tangible chemistry between them feels absent. More's the pity. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyLove is nice, but comic foils have all the fun. |
| User ReviewNeil GWhat would you do if your ex turned up at your work after so many years Awkward but fun |
| User ReviewRaisul IIt's not perfect, but what the hell is perfect anyways |
| User ReviewBarry TA small Irish gem but the two leads didn't have a lot of chemistry. 2 people meet a few years ago in Ireland and then hook again years later as he works in an airport and she had standby. Dublin looked good. It reminded me of Once without music |
| User ReviewJohn KA refreshing version of the standard Rom-Com. |
| User ReviewRobert BA nice little rom-com coproduction by the Irish and Luxembourg a Film boards and starring Brian Gleeson son of Brendan as a likeable young Irish lad working at Dublin Airport customer services desk who is reunited with an old flame from the U.S. Played by Canadian actress Jessica Pare. As she has to spend the night in Dublin they agree to have a night on the town. One for a nice night in with your better half. |
| User ReviewGomi AA nice film. Flimsy plot. Characters you actually route for. Not overly long! |
