Warning: Spoilers
The flavour, spirit and humour of Ireland is almost bottled in this light-hearted comedy about two old boys who conspire to keep the lottery winnings of a deceased friend.

Acted with wonderful mirth and charming wit, and lavishly filmed in that majestically rugged country, the film is easily able to carry you away from your cares for ninety minutes.

With all this considered, one can excuse the shallow obsession with money that the film portrays. Ian Bannen and David Kelly form a wonderful partnership as the close friends Jackie and Michael, and able support comes from Fionnula Flanagan, Susan Lynch and James Nesbitt.

Saturday, March 13, 1999 - Astor Theatre StKilda
