QuickView
Story-line: all hell breaks loose in the Curley household when word gets out that young Sharon is pregnant.
Pluses: fabulous acting (especially by Colm Meany as Dessie, Sharon’s father), a really funny story written by Roddy Doyle, unerring direction, a lively pace.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: successful comedies are not that abundant in moviedom and this tight little film set in Dublin is one to be treasured. Sit back and enjoy, cinephiles, you deserve it.
