Critic Reviews

• Dave Calhoun, Time Out

  This fatally unfunny Irish comedy doesn't raise a single laugh from its silly conceit.

• Mike Edwards, What Culture

  This is a real low for Linda Hamilton, and her career has largely consisted of collecting benefit cheques from the dole office.

• , Empire Magazine

  Definitely an original, this has some truly funny moments and sympathetic characters.

• , Film4

  Last Of The Summer Wine was never like this.

• Wendy Ide, Times [UK]

  It's staggeringly unfunny and skin-crawlingly unsexy, so as sex comedies go, this rather misses the mark.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  A fantastically depressing, unfunny and embarrassing comedy.

• Elliott Noble, Sky Movies

  It won't be the biggest performer at the box office, but when it comes to comedy, size really doesn't matter. Grab a stiff one - it'll put a smile on your face.

• David Parkinson, Radio Times

  This flimsy comedy is simply too contrived and inconsequential to raise many laughs.

• Christopher Tookey, Daily Mirror [UK]

  Subtitled 'An Arousing Comedy', the only emotions it's likely to arouse in most people are boredom and contempt, with a dash of pity.

• Grant Rollings, Sun Online

  It's kind of like an Irishman making a movie about the English where we all wear bowler hats, drink tea and only complain when someone pushes into the queue.

• Anthony Quinn, Independent

  This jolly Irish heartwarmer is a close descendant of Waking Ned, with a slightly more risqué plotline.

• Allan Hunter, Daily Express

  A modest comedy that feels like a frisky episode of Ballykissangel.

• Derek Malcolm, This is London

  The film quickly descends into farce - it hardly merits the appellation of "an arousing comedy".

• Robbie Collin, News of the World

  One of the most cack-handedly amateur films I've ever ground my teeth through.

• Alistair Harkness, Scotsman

  Holy crap, more like. This dismal "oirish" comedy fails to raise a single laugh from its limp premise.
