Brendan O'Carroll in Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie (2014)

Like all the traders in DublinÂ’s historic Moore Street market, Agnes Brown inherited her fruit and vegetable stall from her mother, as her mother did from hers, and so on across the generations. So when Agnes receives an outrageous tax demand from the Revenue Office itÂ’s not just her livelihood thatÂ’s threatened but her heritage, and her dreams for her daughter CathyÂ’s future.

While Maria and Rory embark on a hapless attempt to raise funds by swimming the channel, Agnes discovers thereÂ’s more to the tax demand than she first realised. The whole market is under threat from a ruthless developer. Agnes Brown is all that stands between Moore Street and the bulldozers.

As the deadline for payment looms, Mrs. Brown must take on the full forces of the Irish establishment to save the market and protect her heritage. Her only help, her family and friends: Winnie McGoogan, her eccentric neighbour; Buster Brady, DermotÂ’s dodgy best mate and his motley troop of blind trainee Ninjas; and Maydo-Archer, a barrister with an unhelpful affliction. As daughter Cathy turns her back on the family business, and unwanted secrets emerge from Agnes' past, could the Brown matriarch finally be out of her depth?

Not as funny as the television shows

You know what you are going to get with Mrs Brown. Low brow silly comedy.

This is a big budget version of the television show. It has outside location shooting in Dublin rather than it all being based in a television studio. They even include some scripted corpsing.

Of course there has already been a Mrs Brown movie before. Anjelica Huston starred as Agnes Browne and directed the movie back as well back in 1999. It was more whimsical and featured Agnes Brown running her market stall.

The market stall is a plot device in this movie. Some Russians with the help of a crooked Irish politician want to close the market and build a shopping centre. Coincidentally Mrs Brown has received a tax demand running into millions of Euros.

It is all a bit far fetched and lacks the core elements of the television series which made it enjoyable and at times amusing. At one point you have people dressed up as ninjas looking for a tax receipt written in braille but it just feels dragged out.

Brendan O'Carroll has struggled to extend this for a feature film and it does stink of a cash in at a time when the BBC series was getting high ratings.
