Waking Ned Devine Reviews

| Original Score: A- | Sep 7, 2011

Some funny parts, but kids may not be interested.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2008

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.

| Mar 11, 2008

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

| Mar 11, 2008

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

| Jan 26, 2006

Completely delightful movie.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2005

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.
