    Has anyone seen it? The film comes from the mastermind behind such jewels as "About Adam" and the ever popular television show "The Big Bow Wow". *shudder*.

    I haven't seen it, but I think I will. I am always in hope of watching an Irish made film and liking it. I am yet to be satisfied.

    Its about a countryboy who goes to Limerick, meets a very camp fashion student guy and falls in love with said camp fashion student guy's best friend. And did you know its set in Limerick!!!

    Yeah looks a bit dodgey to me but you never know.

    If you're looking for a satisfying Irish film then hold your breath until the end of August when Adam and Paul is coming out. It's excellent. Really.

    I'm going to go and see it. I like seeing Ireland on the not-actually-silver screen.

    Its brilliant.

    Of course, David Gleeson is an uncle in law, so I would say that :)

    Is all dreadfully flat and trite. A mix of Queery Eye For The Straight Guy with a standard Oirish film. I do actually admire the change in Irish cinema since About Adam, but god almighty, it's time to step up to a higher level. This is the sort of soap-plot which even Fair City would consider as just an add-on, one of those bubbling-under behind the scenes stories.

    Bad movie that I would recommend to no-one. Bad acting from the homosexual, too much angst from the bogger (actually he wasn't that bad) and too much crap non-acting from the slapper.

    The gay guy came across like Arnold J. Rimmer the whole time - I kept expecting him to say 'I was Alexander the Great's chief eunuch!' but no such luck.

    Some really terrible directorial choices - the slow-mo in the fashion show springs immediately to mind - and the whole film doesn't really amount to much. Follow your dream - oh how profound!

    I guess being the gay capital of Ireland is better than being the murder capital of Ireland so thanks for that anyway Cowboys & Angels!
