Anyone seen it? Being an irish movie, i didn't think it would be much good but i actually enjoyed it.:D

watsrealwatsnot

yeah i seen it. ur ones Ronny was sooo sexy. hahahaahahahaahahahahahaha.
Seriously it was good but their comparing it to Trainspotting which is a stupid and idiotic comparison. Colin Farrell was good but U already know dat cause hes ur LOVER

begbie

Well, i agree with your statement that its no trainspotting. Just like they compared Dead Bodies to Shallow Grave!:dunno:

silverside

yeah, funny but overrated, good soundtrack, had to laugh at the first scene - I think everyone else was too shocked to laugh.

begbie

You know, i didn't actually see the 1st scene which everyone has since talked bout! I arrived late and missed that whole scene!

NightStrike

Ah it was so funny. I was dragged to the film when it was in the cinema by a mate and I thought it was a romantic comedy or something so I was sitting there, he's chatting her up and next thing he knocks her out. LOL was classic!

Saw it in the cinema about 6 months ago and thought it was good; a couple of things about it annoyed me but overall it definitely acts as a good example of Irish film.

Still annoying that the nonce who is the central character didn't get lamped (you know, the pretty boy with the big blue eyes)...as it stands, the ending of his story is a bit too americanised for my liking. But the endings for the others (particularly the jilted wife with the kinky bedroom tastes) make up for it.

I was in agony from laughing @ the opening scene ... My sister was shocked & started giving out to me about laughing @ a bloke hitting a girl, but it was so shockingly funny

Good old Rathfarnham Shopping Center was used in the scene when he ran out onto the road & jumped onto the car with a shovel (?)

I just burst out laughing ... I'll never forget the thump she gave that bloke during sex

Fysh

Yeah, that was possibly the funniest scene in the film

Opening sequence made me laugh, but was pretty shocking as well...I'm damn glad they didn't make it into some "he looks like a scanger scumbag, but really he's an articulate and intelligent chap deep down" thing too.

I still don't believe his real-life equivalent could spell abode, never mind knows what it means, though.

The film was unfunny garbage. The wheelchair race and the bit with the remote control at the end confirmed what a pile of unfunny, puerile crap this really was.

And you must be pretty twisted to think a young woman getting viciously punched in the face is funny.

Even Deirdre O'Kane couldn't save this.

silverside

Yeah i must have something wrong with me to find that scene funny, better book a psych session ASAP
:rolleyes:
Wonder why the director put that scene in there at all.

I thought that was pretty much the only good part of the film. Nothing wrong with finding it funny either. Violence against males is allowed to be funny, why not the other way round. I laughed out loud and make no apologies for doing so. I like a bit of black humour.

krattapopov

i found it to be a good film, not great but not bad....

imo i dont see how deirdre o kane could "save" this film, for one i dont think it needs saving and even then i dont think she could

Tazzle

It was good once, it is not rewatchable at all.

Not really. Not when the entire point of the scene is that it has been built up to follow the pattern of countless romantic comedies, only to then break the convention.

Shocking, yes. But still funny, at least if you can appreciate dark humour.

I'm surprised that you couldn't find *anything* funny in this film, though. You're the first person I've heard/seen with that opinion of the film (not saying it's been universally adored by everyone I know who's seen it, but still, yours is the most critical opinion of it I've seen)

phreak

Detective Jerry Lynch really annoyed me the whole way through the film.

other than that i liked it.

brilliant opening scene - new found respect for colin farrell

orangerooster

I thought it was alright-though the post about deirde o kane-"even deirdre o kane couldnt save this film" made me laugh more than i did at the whole film even if the post was probably a joke in the first place.If not agent orange is lame.Seeing someone getting punched in films is always funny.

certainly! that just blew me away, didnt expect that.

yellum

It's a bit of a ripoff of the opening scene in "Way of the Gun"

begbie

Yeah, opening scene in "Way of the gun" is really funny. Has nothing to do with rest of movie though.:dunno:
