One of dozens of lost Irish movies from the 1990s this effort is a romantic comedy about two 30-something women who get involved with the same man (comedian Sean Hughes). It's dialogue heavy and rather bland though some scenes will wake you up! Joe Dolan appears in a great scene (similar to No surrender) and Rosaleen Linehan steals every scene she's in. Similar in tone to the later About Adam it uses location as a romantic setting and there are lots of great shots of this great city (though many locations are of course gone now). There's even some full-frontal nudity, a concert from Pierce Turner, and a clubbing scene. It's a good snapshot of mid-1990's Dublin with various characters (who've probably since emigrated!) and streets. The movie itself is dull enough but the accents and dialogue are good.
