Rating: - Surprisingly funny
This flick is a strange mix of some slapstick/rediculous humor and very dark and violent events and people. There are several clever lines, some good music, some philosophizing about politics and human nature, a murder mystery, and a cat and mouse game that takes many absurd turns. The "romantic" aspects that are played up in the descriptions and trailer are really negligeable to the whole thing. It's so ambitious as to not be beleived but somehow you can allow them that. The humor is very silly, ... Read More
Rating:  - Amaze your friends with this "sleeper" hit!
When my friends come over and want to see a movie, I always keep this one as a recommendation. The movie is funny, action packed, and features some wonderful performances by brilliant actors. I recommend picking up a copy for those nights when you and your friends can't make up your minds.

It has a seemingly serious premise--incriminating statements by an up-and-coming politician are hidden on a tape of Dvorak, which is given to a drunken Belfast reporter by a young woman who later dies to protect it--which is given an ...

Rating: - If you like Irish and British Comedy
.... This movie is for you. Now, now one shouldn't make fun of the Northern Irish situation the way it was 10- 15 years ago, but the movie isn't all about it. Do not misunderstand me the whole Irish war thing plays a part in this movie but let's meet the main character....
Starkey.... A drink-a-lot -of- beer happy Irish guy who works for a news paper always on the edge of being kicked out if he doesn't deliver a good story soon!!! He happens to meet some high positioned politicians daughter ... Read More
