This film is very funny, the cast are all excellent. The story, maybe its a bit mad, so what? Its a film, its not meant to be real. I would single out Amy Huberman as being excellent in this, I also saw her in another Irish film that played in Montreal in August, Satellites and Meteorites, where she was flawless. Dylan Moran, while perhaps reprising many of the other characters he has played previously, was very enjoyable to watch, as was Keith Allen though his part was predictably small. A few cameos at the end really were well placed, especially Johnny Rhys, though the context of his cameo was a little close to reality so I'm not sure what way he will come across to auds in Ireland. Throughly enjoyable film, the industry in Toronto reacted extremely positively to it and it along with Kisses really showed us all that Ireland can, when it wants, produce good product. Well done to all involved and I hope it goes well on its release.
Mark Doherty not only stars in this film, he wrote it. I cannot imagine a mind that conceived of this. It is so bizarre that it is hilarious.
We are talking two losers, Mark (Doherty) and his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran). Mark is faced with a series of accidents that leave him utterly incapable of action. He turns to Pierce, who just makes things worse.
This film is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it is hilarious. Of course, you have to see the humor , not in the tragedies that occur, but in the response to it by Mark and Pierce.
Amy Huberman was excellent in her role as Mark's girlfriend, leaving us wanting more in her short role.

I liked it in a weird way. But it would be better suited as a short film or 50 minute stage play.
I didn't think I will like it that much , although it didn't looked that good but I totally recommend to watch it , it has this Witt and quick sense of humor with very new clever idea .. although the acting was not that god ' and I didn't understand the ending but all on all a very unique movie
This black comedy is a story of Pierce (Dylan Moran) and Mark (Mark Doherty), two jobless Irish friends sharing a run down apartment with Mark's girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman), and Mark's disabled brother David (David O'Doherty). The apartment is owned by a disgruntled Jack (Keith Allen). The movie suddenly takes a turn for the worse one day in their uneventful and eroding lives.
The movie really takes the very definitive yet subtle elements of black comedy and ties it together with very interesting plot twists. Although no comparison can be made, for the sake of a relative scale- A Film with Me in It is abreast with some of the blackest comedy works of the Coen Brothers (such as Burn After Reading, Barton Fink and The Man Who Wasn't There).
The movie tends to drag a little here and there, but makes up for it in the fine character development and cinematography. As the plot progresses, the viewer is often subtly taunted to question their understanding of the story so far.
I'm a fan of Dylan Moran's stand-up work, and he has lived up to my expectations of him on the screen as well. All in all, it's definitely a good watch.

Did you know
- GoofsWhen the garda (policewoman) calls to the door, some of her walkie talkie chatter can be heard. This is in an American accent which would not be the case in Ireland. The piece heard is in fact a standard foley effect of an American police officer speaking on the radio and is often heard in TV and film.
