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
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.

Charming performances and easygoing humour are the strengths of Jones's enjoyable Oirish romp.

Breezy little comedy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 12, 2002
There is some nudity in Ned Devine, but it's the funniest nudity in movies in ages.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 18, 2002
The beauty of this film is its simplicity. It's good old-fashioned story-telling, following the increasingly desperate attempts of a group of lovable rogues to fill their pockets.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 17, 2001
If this film doesn't make you want to smile, you've no one to blame but yourself.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2001
Perfectly competent new Irish working-class comedy.
| Jan 1, 2000
Another one of those delightful village comedies that seem to spin out of the British isles annually.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Sodden, middle-of-the-lane humor of this sort has never bothered me before -- I just think perhaps the Irish might enjoy being the subject of a film with slightly less alcohol and a smidgen more honesty to it for once.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
It's instructive that Waking Ned Devine is being so aggressively sold as a feel-good comedy; the "good" feeling in question is called condescension.
