Finally an Irish movie with an apt title! Enjoyable, interesting, and memorable fim about a flawed, sociable loser who opens a record shop and discovers some famous punk bands. Of course it's similar to other stuff like Killing Bono but this one is better. Some good scenes including the first time he hears the song Teenage kicks, the beating from the younger Nazi punks, and the tensions with his wife. Surrounded by the Troubles, trying to impress a dubious bank manager, getting nowhere in London, disappointing his business partner, and failing the famous band Rudi the movie makes a huge effort to get the audience to like this man. The story stops in the early 1980s so appears to be another routine nostalgia picture about rock bands. Still, anyone with an interest in Irish punk (and the Nordie bands were the best ones) should see this movie!
