Definitely an original, this has some truly funny moments and sympathetic characters.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

This fatally unfunny Irish comedy doesn't raise a single laugh from its silly conceit.

The Times (UK)

It's staggeringly unfunny and skin-crawlingly unsexy, so as sex comedies go, this rather misses the mark.

What Culture

This is a real low for Linda Hamilton, and her career has largely consisted of collecting benefit cheques from the dole office.

It won't be the biggest performer at the box office, but when it comes to comedy, size really doesn't matter. Grab a stiff one - it'll put a smile on your face.

I have been watching cinema since i was a wee lad. This piece of film was the least thought provoking movie i have ever seen. where was the moral? No lessons or complex thoughts. The film drew not one chortle from me and my colleagues. save that for the nutting house man.

This is my first post, I've only joined cause this film has such poor reviews by so called "critics" in any case from their review of some off the muck being produced lately…it's well established they lost all credibility by the rest of the population. Any case Holy water AKA Hard times in the home country is great craic, some good laughs characters and decent plot. Akin to young defenders, not as funny as father Ted but at times comes close. It's a funny heart warming film to share with the missus!

how they convinced some sort of not so mediocre bunch of actors (some of them also awarded with actual prized]s), to be casted in this stupidity is still a mistery, after almost 15 years. neither the location's climate could be a reason to shoot this ridiculously unfunny movie.

Known as Hard Times on Netflix. This is the end result of 4 fecking Gaelic lads hijacking a Viagra truck and then storing the multi-million dollar stash in their rural city's drinking water supply. The kicker? The city's average age is 60.
