Trouble With Sex

Irish movies are all style and no substance. Says who? Trouble With Sex is a dull, shallow movie that has all style and no substance. It's a Celtic Tiger movie. We won't have any more of these for a long time. It's not even a good Celtic Tiger movie. Because there are no good Celtic Tigers. There's a guy working in a bar. He's messed up probably from going to school back in the '80s. Then there's a solicitor but she calls herself a lawyer. For some reason she likes this repressed loser. Then there's his dad. He's the only interesting character here because he represents 'old' Ireland. The lawyer jogs past the famine memorial. Why? Because this shows us the clash of modern Ireland with the old one. It's that subtle! Except the Celtic Tiger is now another old Ireland. Then there's a sing song to Crowded House. Why them? Because they're derivative, shallow, unoriginal, and bland. Just like Trouble With Sex. It's all filtered lighting and carefully composed shots. Just like in Eden. It's shallow rubbish with stereotypical characters. It says nothing new and is just an excuse to show how good the technical crew are. Just like a lot of Irish movies do.
