    What a massive pile of rubbish. Badly acted, badly shot and Colm Meaney is in it for a really small portion of the film, despite having top billing. One very annoying flaw was the fact that the camera kept moving to the point where it was cutting the top of the actors heads. Also, how did they get Fred Willard? He's far better than this carry on! The one redeeming feature was Martin Maloney (Eddie Durkin from The Hardy Bucks). His cameo was hilarious, although it was disappointing when he didn't bate the head off Sean Lackey's character. In conclusion, avoid. How it's rated as highly as it is on here is beyond me. Utter scutter.
