Beats any crappy american humour
Wandered into this film while in Dublin not knowing anything about it and loved it. It is so dark and so funny. Definately see it.
Black yes, comedy no
There were a couple of people in the audience when I saw this film who were laughing hysterically at several points during the movie; the bulk of the cinema barely managed the odd chuckle - so much so that I suspect the first lot may have been laughing at something going on in the back row of the theatre rather than on-screen.
Just because you have a character comment repeatedly that what is happening on-screen is so unlikely that you could never put it in a film, doesn't actually mean you can get away with putting it in your film.
Dylan Moran's performance definitely stands out and what few laughs there are come from his character, but there is only so much you can do from a supporting role.
A ludicrously improbable story and more importantly a protagonist (the actor wrote the script - warning sign there!) who displays absolutely no relatable emotional response to the events unfolding around him combine to make this easily one of the most underwhelming films I've seen in a long while.
black hilarity at it's best
I loved everything about this film. The scenario is really original and full of suprises, the characters are fantastic, and the script is great. I am a dylan moran fan so find pretty much anything he says or does funny which helps. it's is black humour at its perfection, ignore any miserly reviews of this film and judge it for youself.
Dylan Moran is a really funny man
If you love Black Books and Dylan Moran then most certainly is a must wacth film
