7/10
Jon Monsarrat review: Somewhat funny, very sweet
13 April 2002
"Waking Ned" is a Irish comedy about a remote village of quirky but lovable characters. It's a "feel good" movie without a sharp edge (Rush Hour) or tremendous wackiness (A Fish Called Wanda), but worthwhile seeing if you don't mind some sentimentality (this is not "There's Something About Mary"). It's an original story with a few clever twists.

It's similar to "The Closer You Get" and "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, But Came Down a Mountain", other Irish comedies I recommend.

Who should see this film:

-- Those interested in Ireland

-- Comedy lovers who have a sentimental side, and don't need

car chases or witty put-downs to enjoy a film

I'll give "Waking Ned" a 7 out of 10.
