Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

neil-29353 I checked the reviews before wasting a couple of hours on this and it seemed that there were a lot of 10's and a lots score closer to 0's, Its always hard to know who is correct in this situation. Believe me the scores closer to 0's are spot on.I'm guessing you know enough background about the film from the title and trailers.. 6 lads on a hill walking stag weekend... right?Billed as a comedy but this is as far from comedy as you could get. Its completely devoid of any humour... They try so hard to be original and they really aren't. Predictable and truth be told pretty boring.Yes they put the characters as the new style D4 Irish rather than the stereotyped drinkers and fighters which are so often portrayed in films but they were equally bad and offensive.The only exception to the group is the one character called "The Machine" who is called "The Machine" with the emphasis on "the" in every other line in the script...oh dear god please stop... it couldn't have been more annoying. Even his sister phones him and says "Hi, The Machine"... seriously so annoying. I don't know what angle they were trying with the gay couple...were they trying to shock us on film 30 years too late? Were they trying to shock us that Ireland has a gay community??... this couple in a relationship of 6 years in every scene stuck to each other like love sick teenagers... *gasp a man hugging another man... the outrage... I can only assume they did that so that you could differentiate from the other 3 male characters (not including "The Machine" because you really wouldn't know who was supposed to be gay.Apologies to the gay community if you are all really loved up after 6 years together...maybe I'm just an old cynicAnyway... it was all very obvious what was going to happen... losing their clothes, chased by the dog and the farmer....absolute pants. To conclude with an overly sentimental sickly best man speech and bizarre poorly mimed cover version of a U2 song after a nonsensical out of place rallying speech for the people of Ireland... Oh one last thing... accents!!???!!! Peter McDonald who is a pretty fine actor what was going on with the accent?.. Born in Dublin yet it jumped from the North, to the midlands to an American accent...and the rest sounded EnglishDo yourself a favour and don't watch this

Monica Dumitrescu A very funny and entertaining Irish movie. Irish. Need I say more? U2, Irish guys, Irish humor. In the same time is funny, touchy and it makes you think about friendship, about taking life too serious and about sometimes making fun about all the craps you might find in the way. Each character of the movie has it's own charm and each character is so different than the others. The authors managed, somehow to make them perfect together in a very unique and, with the risk of repeating myself, funny movie. The plot keeps you in front of the screen and one cannot help of wondering how will the big finale be. It was totally worth seeing it and I'm already making plans to see it again with my U2 fans friends.

Ileana Cecanu I was enjoying every second of this film. All actors did an amazing job, they were so natural, the situations of the plot made them so hilarious, I was empathizing with them from the first second. Peter McDonald as THE MACHINE is so funny and powerful in his part. I was watching this film in a room full of people from different parts of the world and we all couldn't stop laughing. I will say about this film that it's pure humanity and if you want to relax, have a good time, enjoy some very good plot and amazing acting, this is the perfect title. And I never knew that both Andrew Scott and peter McDonald can sing so well, I was really impressed, not there is a musical inside, but they had a few moments when they did this. My favorite part is with them running through the woods at night. That was pure fun.

skinthegoat A frothy romp, encompassing all those aspects of the human condition designed by a bored deity for the amusement of pilgrims trudging the road to happy destiny: nudity, the institution of marriage, and the question that has bedevilled the Boy Scout movement since Baden Powell's day: whether to jerk off inside or outside the communal tent. But for this critic the film was lifted out of the ordinary by the virtuoso performance of B. McCaughley (as B. McCaughly) as father of the bride. I thought he brought to the role a perfect balance between the gravitas, the graceful aplomb, of a James Robertson Justice and the elfin charm of an arthritic David Norris. His performance will come as no surprise to stage cognoscenti, who will not easily forget Honey, Well I shrunk the Kids (1980), or the hilarious frilly-knickers tour-de-force Under the Boardwalk (1991). And breathes there a cinema buff who has not gripped the edge of his tip-up seat throughout the thrilling 2002 suspense drama The Smoking Hoover? But it is a sad measure of the parochialism of the Irish cinema scene that this splendid thespian is nowadays better known among the tattooed and bearded roughnecks of the Oakland chapter than among the Great Unwashed in the one-and-thruppenies here at home.
