YES, it's a european movie...thank God! What I like best in this movie is that it doesn't take place in that clean "US-environment" with all those actors, who look like super-models. It's a real life story with people, who could be just your neighbours, which adds even more to the realism. They're all so emotional, so funny, so "average" looking, so...real! You can't help but love them after just a few minutes! In addition, this film is very very funny, the plot is good and offers occasions for a lot of funny situations, although I think you just have to like this kind of humour. Like I said, this is a very "real" film and so are the jokes. Just imagine you'd be a tourist in that small town somewhere in Ireland and you watch all those funny and odd people there. Sounds boring? Well, I didn't think so! Of course, it's also well shot. It looks different from a US Film (not a crime...yet) and maybe not too expensive, but hey, do you really need a lot of money to make a good comedy? ;)

There really should be more of these films. If you liked "Waking Ned", "The Full Monty" and "Brassed Off", you're gonna love this one.

For me, as an italian, this film was extremely funny and I had a great laugh at the cinema. Ok, it consists of nothing but very simple "italian style" slapstick jokes: a little bit of sex, people who get hurt in cartoon style and of course lots of italian language jokes. I'd say that you have to be italian native speaker in order to always understand what's supposed to be funny. So this is a film for italians or people who like those very simple italian jokes. If you like Paolo Villaggio, Lino Banfi, Renato Pozzetto, Carlo Verdone, etc. - go and see it! All others - forget it, this isn't for you.
