3/5
Love is nice, but comic foils have all the fun. Go to Full Review Ellen Murray Film Ireland Magazine 04/06/2018
Standby brings a breath of fresh air to the rom-com genre and leaves on it a decisively Irish stamp. A must watch. Go to Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) 06/06/2016
For all Pare's toothy charms and Gleeson's good-natured bumbling, a tangible chemistry between them feels absent. More's the pity. Go to Full Review Doug Whelan Irish Independent 11/14/2014

12/25/2017 It's not perfect, but what the hell is perfect anyways See more 03/17/2017 Lovely little understated Irish Romcom See more 12/05/2015 I'm not too sure what's wrong with this film. I usually like this kind of films but to this one, I couldn't pay attention ... See more 10/13/2015 A nice film. Flimsy plot. Characters you actually route for. Not overly long! See more 08/15/2015 A nice little rom-com coproduction by the Irish and Luxembourg a Film boards and starring Brian Gleeson son of Brendan as a likeable young Irish lad working at Dublin Airport customer services desk who is reunited with an old flame from the U.S. Played by Canadian actress Jessica Pare. As she has to spend the night in Dublin they agree to have a night on the town. One for a nice night in with your better half. See more 07/12/2015 A refreshing version of the standard Rom-Com.
