Wild about Harry
Another Nordie comedy this one has TV chef (Gleeson) losing his memory and trying to save his marriage. His teenage son is a brat but his daughter adores him. The wife has had enough and politician Nesbitt wants to kill him! The first twenty minutes were really good but after that it turns into a Hollywood genre movie but not as good. Interesting perspective from a wealthy Northern Irish couple. The usual '18 again' theme and marriage in trouble stuff done so much better in American movies.
