Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter A semi-digestible collation of stew and sauerkraut, Irish-German comedy Halal Daddy never quite cuts close enough to the funny bone. Jul 12, 2017 Full Review Jamie Neish CineVue Conor McDermottroe, who directed and co-wrote the script with Mark O'Halloran (also starring in the film as Omar), imbues the film with warmth and affectionate for small town life. Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent Halal Daddy is a well-meaning but ham-fisted attempt to refract the complexities of multicultural Ireland. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) The real bounty of Conor McDermottroe's film is its core cast -- all of whom beam with sparkle and vigour. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Roe McDermott Hot Press Well-intentioned but disappointing in its predictability. Jul 12, 2017 Full Review Stephen Porzio Film Ireland Magazine What drags the movie down is a reliance on broad gags and characters and an oddly paced narrative.
