Beware! If you are looking for a film with frenetic action and romance; this is definitely not the film for you. However if you want to watch a comedy about two Poms on the run from Australian immigration department then you'll probably enjoy this film.

Jimeoin plays an Irishman lost in Australia, and as he moves about, the plot, or lack of plot, develops. The movie is full of winning one liners and funny characters, and the scenes are almost skit like in nature. The parody of 'Perfect Match' is well worth a look. The only real problem is that Jimeoin basically plays himself. However, it's probably true to say that this is a small price to pay for a genuinely funny film. Hope you enjoy it.

In a small town, everyone knows your business as well as their own. When the inhabitants of a small Irish village learn that one of the residents has won the lottery, they make it their business to find out who it is. Jackie O'Shea (Bannen) is the first to solve the mystery, thanks to his shrewd knowledge of human failings and an ability to exploit them. Jackie just wants to get a bit of the money, but encouraging the winner to share the wealth is no easy task and calls for an ingenious plan...

This is a 'feel-good' film in the best sense of the term-gentle humour without any sentimentality and sympathetic characters who just happen to be a bunch of criminals. You can't help hoping Jackie and his friend Michael (Kelly) will get away with their scheme to get some of the lottery money for themselves by whatever means possible. Of course, complications can spoil the best-laid plans and the two old reprobates thinking at top speed as problems arise are a delight to behold.

With a stirring soundtrack of Irish music by Shaun Davey, Waking Ned Devine was the last film I've seen to have me humming as I left the theatre - everything combined to make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
