Critics Consensus

This comedy is too slight to leave an impression, and its attempts at whimsy are not as funny as they could have been.

This flick was just hilarious--I loved it! The critics are just nuts and don't like anything that doesn't leave you depressed for weeks!

It is interesting to see how religion and politics are weaved in this Irish comedy about pedaling wigs. Lackluster still and forgettable.

A interesting plot with a good screenplay, nice actings, just like Levinson's direction, An Everlasting Piece, is a unforgettable film, entertaining and funny. Fresh.

To be able to find humour when life looks bleak has to be a true Irish talent and this film is a great example. A little slow in parts but definitely worth a look.
