When Brendan met Trudy
Absolutely awful movie that everyone thought was great when it came out! The reason was because it was fast-paced, zany, fun, and anarchic - or at least tried to! It was a modern comedy set in Dublin aimed at a young audience. It featured non-nationals, clubs, bars, cafés, and was one of the first Celtic Tiger movies. The fact that it was unoriginal rubbish was ignored by most people. Brendan is a film buff who only watches mainstream cinema. Trudy was a criminal who falls for Brendan. Various far better movies are parodied (hate seeing this in films). They wave at the internet camera on O'Connell Bridge. Yet another movie I'd love to see a sequel to made a decade on.
