I saw this when I was 12. All I really remember is that Patrick can use his psychic powers to make a tuna casserole get so hot that it burns someone. I'm not making this up. It sort of warped me.
Don't expect to be titillated by the violence in 100 Proof. There is no visceral thrill when it erupts, it's just mundane, senseless and painful to watch. This film is by no means perfect, but it really deserves an audience.
I guess every year must have it's quirky (and inoffensive) comedy hit and this one was the closest that 1998 had to offer. The acting is very charming. The payoff was better than body of the film which was a bland stew of small Irish village cliches. On the whole, this film is pleasant and competent, but unless you find naked old guys on motorcycles to be intrinsically funny, see Local Hero!
