30 Day Film Challenge. Day 15


Intermission. My favourite Irish film. A who's who of Hibernian talent and a script guaranteed to make you laugh like Brian Blessed. Like all the best Irish films it kicks you in the heart but for once the humour outweighs the sadness and you'll leave this film smiling. Celtic mysticism, wheelchair races, thrown beans, lazy rabbits, Colm Meaney as the hardest cop on the island, brown sauce, horrible jumpers, flirty sex shop owners, ronnies, stone throwers, wannabe yanks, stolen cars, a hate of onion rings, rough lovin' and sporty auld wans. Its brilliantly funny and has a genuinely heartfelt finish too. If you don't leave this one happy you're broken inside.
