As the twin revelations of a wonderfully unexpected pay-off prove, in the end there's no substitute for wit, invention and real, priceless humour.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 11, 2008
Irresistibly charming.

Jones could have done worse than to fashion this slight entertainment, but it's also clear that he could do much better.

A genial, feel-good item.

Though it strives for broad humor, pushing cuteness and light irony, this bland 1998 movie isn't exactly a comedy.

You'll love Waking Ned Devine.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006
Charming performances and easygoing humour are the strengths of Jones's enjoyable Oirish romp.

The film is tediously slow. The actors seem to pause too long between lines and the storytelling is far too smooth.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2005
Completely delightful movie.

There is no sense of newness to the story.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 9, 2005
Gentle in most of its humor, but also has just enough edge and bite to keep it from being gaggingly gooey.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 13, 2004
Like the hit movie The Full Monty, this British import has its funny shots of naked men.

There's plenty of enjoyment to be found here, whether it be the humor, the honest performances, or just the sheer beauty. And I have to admit, it put me in the mood for a pint.
