Last right
The kind of dull crap our Film Board now funds thanks to their new gender quota policy. An American returns to Cork after meeting an old man on the plane who dies. Because they have same surname people think they're related and he agrees to escort the coffin to Northern Ireland. Probably sounded good on paper but it's tedious, unfunny, boring and unoriginal. Comic scenes that aren't funny, sex scenes that aren't romantic, drama scenes that aren't dramatic; uneven scenes that veer in tone. Set at Christmas but there's nothing festive about it. Like their car this movie remains in first gear.The only time I was surprised was when Haircut 100 appeared on the soundtrack. Let's face it, Ireland is too small in area for a good road movie. What's talented Brian Cox doing in this contrived rubbish? Title: The last right Genre: Road New/old: New Cinema/DVD: Cinema
