Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny as fook!!!!!! northern Irish accent jarred my head though. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Daft story with ulta-flimsy plot that loses all semblance of humor as it plods towards its inevitable conclusion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Between whimsy and hard reality, the best efforts of much underdeveloped characters become forgotten. One shouldn't be put off by an enigma too many, as given time, it's actually the more concise and subtle elements that rescue this from its own pretentions. A bit more effort and it could have been really special, still, let's all raise a glass to young Eamonn, bless his heart, for cutting through all the cynicism, never to be overwhelmed. Attaboy Eamonn. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
