A Timeless Classic that puts Dublin humour centre stage! Brilliantly written dialogue that just gets funnier with each viewing. Catch-phrases abound. Acting is superb. Cinematography & lighting excellently gritty. Sentiment perfectly delivered without ever being maudlin' or cheesy. Characterisations are true to life as are the antics and scandal-hungry gossips of Dublin's sprawling housing estates. Andrea Corr appears for a brief moment. Tina Kelleher is wonderful. Joanne Gerrard is hilarious as the obnoxious teenage girl. Colm Meany is adorable as the flummoxed Dad. Brendan Gleeson is effortlessly watchable. Brilliant direction. Memorable Soundtrack. Superb writing. A True cult classic that will never age. My only question is ... why are there no distribution deals for this movie in Ireland!? It can only be bought on Canadian DVD!
