    What could this be ...

    Actually with a title like that and after the first few minutes you will catch the drift. The question if you will like were this is going or not, will depend on how much you like "dark humor". If you have seen quite a few of those movies, than you might anticipate quite a few things that will happen.

    Still it is done very good, many jokes are really exciting and the movie ends very well. One of the things that stuck out though, was the fact that this movie is Irish. Which means the guys playing this have a very unusual accent (for me and I'm sure for quite a few other guys), which also means, that I had some trouble getting every little thing that was said.

    The (inevitable) American Remake will come surely, but before that, make sure to watch this original!

    saw this in Toronto

    This film is very funny, the cast are all excellent. The story, maybe its a bit mad, so what? Its a film, its not meant to be real. I would single out Amy Huberman as being excellent in this, I also saw her in another Irish film that played in Montreal in August, Satellites and Meteorites, where she was flawless. Dylan Moran, while perhaps reprising many of the other characters he has played previously, was very enjoyable to watch, as was Keith Allen though his part was predictably small. A few cameos at the end really were well placed, especially Johnny Rhys, though the context of his cameo was a little close to reality so I'm not sure what way he will come across to auds in Ireland. Throughly enjoyable film, the industry in Toronto reacted extremely positively to it and it along with Kisses really showed us all that Ireland can, when it wants, produce good product. Well done to all involved and I hope it goes well on its release.

    Movie with them in it or day with them in it is filmed?

    Mark is rejected by one more movie project. Permanent looser Mark is living in a wrecked house which he can't pay for the rent for three months together with his brother in wheel chair. His life is falling apart with his failures at job and problems with his girl friend. Leading role in his friend's movie sounds for him like the solution to everything. The script of Pierce who is an impenitent alcoholic coincides whit what we are watching. We can't be sure if the movie they want to make at this specific day is what we are watching or they are inspired by this day for their movie. After such shrewd start, movie presents 90 minutes laughters to us.

    Tragedies one after another don't change Mark's indifferent attitude to life even when he has lost almost everything. Mark's astonishment and Pierce's reactions are main objects of the movie represents British comedy manner. What is happening to them is too much absurd even for a movie according to a movie writer Pierce he says but they again find the solution in a scenario idea.

    Everything is fabulously funny in this good sample of British comedy which resembles "Shaun of Dead" and "Hot Fuzz". A Film With Me In It, second movie of Ian Fitzgibbon has various critics like his first job but still it attracts attention in some Festivals include Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA).

    A Very Punch On British Comedy

    I didn't think I will like it that much , although it didn't looked that good but I totally recommend to watch it , it has this Witt and quick sense of humor with very new clever idea .. although the acting was not that god ' and I didn't understand the ending but all on all a very unique movie

    Don't get all vegetarian on me now.

    Mark Doherty not only stars in this film, he wrote it. I cannot imagine a mind that conceived of this. It is so bizarre that it is hilarious.

    We are talking two losers, Mark (Doherty) and his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran). Mark is faced with a series of accidents that leave him utterly incapable of action. He turns to Pierce, who just makes things worse.

    This film is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it is hilarious. Of course, you have to see the humor , not in the tragedies that occur, but in the response to it by Mark and Pierce.

    Amy Huberman was excellent in her role as Mark's girlfriend, leaving us wanting more in her short role.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      When the garda (policewoman) calls to the door, some of her walkie talkie chatter can be heard. This is in an American accent which would not be the case in Ireland. The piece heard is in fact a standard foley effect of an American police officer speaking on the radio and is often heard in TV and film.
