Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 12/17/2004
It's a sweet but slight film whose undeniable appeal is largely due to the performances of its flat-out adorable leads. Go to Full Review

A feel-good coming-of-age movie that floats on a boatload of Irish charm. Go to Full Review
John Monaghan Detroit Free Press 12/03/2004
2/4
A likable if ordinary Irish indie that barely squeaks by on the charms of its leads. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Keeps us involved even after the plot takes some badly contrived turns. Strong characters and performances make it almost watchable. Go to Full Review

02/16/2019 Everything an indie movie should be. A true bro-mance between a gay-bro and a straight-bro. Something that happens all the time in the real world but is NEVER portrayed in the movies. Told with a realism that many normal people will connect with. See more 03/26/2015 ok but cliché gay cinema See more 03/14/2014 I loved this movie! Easily makes it in my Top 10 of the genre! See more 02/21/2013 Allen Leech goes on to strong in downtown abbey. Fun and kitsch movie See more 06/17/2012 better than i expected.
