Shamelessly pandering to the hoards of wailing manbabies.

Some reasonable performances and good effects work but the shoe-horning spoils the overall film.

I remember this being pretty funny when I was a kid but watching it now I realise it's a dark study of mental illness and a marriage on the rocks. Wonderful writing and great performances, particularly from Penelope Wilton.

This is possibly one of the worst examples of culture man has ever produced. There is not a single redeeming feature about this tripe The acting is awful. The direction is pedestrian and awful. The screenplay is awful. Even beautiful Ireland looks awful. If you want to experience a cultural artifact that will make you despair of civilisation's achievements then this is it. Tony Hawks must have mortgaged and remortgaged his house to raise the funds for this as I cannot imagine a single penny being volunteered by anyone who is not currently brain dead and on life support. I see he has made another movie from one of his books. The man needs to be stopped from inflicting this utter, utter plop on the world
