If ever an Irish movie had the wrong title it's this one; 'Worst' would be a more appropriate title! A much-hyped biopic about Ireland's most famous footballer. It concentrates on the downfall of Best where he turns alcoholic and has women trouble. The kind of movie that makes a big deal about the clothes and hairstyles from the late '60s and early '70s yet uses a modern heavy-metal guitar on the soundtrack! Fast-paced movie where scenes and characters appear and disappear. So fast paced that the famous song 'Come up and see me make me smile' over the end credits has been sped up to sound like the Chipmunks! For some reason various Irish directors appear in cameo roles: Jim Sheridan, Ian Fitzgibbon, and Mary McGuckian. Normally Shoot the cabbage would advise followers not to watch this movie but the chances of finding a DVD copy are remote!
