If Shoot the Cabbage decided to compile of list of ten movies for a post called 'how the f*ck did that get made?' then On the nose would be high up there. It's a 'comedy' about a head in a jar which predicts racing results. Set in a medical college it's about a group of workers who team up to keep this head. It's the kind of movie you wonder why it got made and who the target audience were? Then there's a silly march along Liffey Street to the bookies at the end of the movie. These kind of films need certain qualities to work: 'class', 'magical', and 'comedy'. All of course missing here. Also, do Irish colleges on the East Coast offer Marine Biology degrees?
