Dead long enough
This is just sh*t. Really bad! Well done to the Film Board for funding this. Guess it's all about throwing money at 'respectable' (and nice directors) eh? There are two Welsh brothers and they don't get along. One is a Russel Brand-type TV host and the other is just uncertain. They visit Ireland to find an old flame (Ball) and the whole village gets involved in the story in a contrived way. Add in a dated punk band on the soundtrack (Moondogs), stupid postcard-continuity titles that look like they were created on a home PC using software given away free with a magazine, and a big deal made about the most ordinary of characters. Heck, even the director makes an obvious cameo reading a book in the street. This really is just sh*t.
