A Film with Me in It (2010)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Excellent adaptation.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I found myself watching this movie, alone in bed, eating popcorn, hungover like a beach towel on a Tuesday night.Incredible.. 3 people and a dog and a police woman died in a flat from horrific freak accidents.. all in a matter of minuets, it's not funny but why am I laughing? Uncontrollable. Lots of twists, great film, well good enough. Love Dylan Moran, I hope to one day marry a man just like himself. Eight out of Ten stars for 'a film with me in it' please enjoy as much as I indeed did.Make sure to check out my list of movies to watch - recommended by myself. if you like this you are bound to enjoy the other titles in the list on my profile.

Mark Doherty not only stars in this film, he wrote it. I cannot imagine a mind that conceived of this. It is so bizarre that it is hilarious.We are talking two losers, Mark (Doherty) and his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran). Mark is faced with a series of accidents that leave him utterly incapable of action. He turns to Pierce, who just makes things worse.This film is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it is hilarious. Of course, you have to see the humor , not in the tragedies that occur, but in the response to it by Mark and Pierce.Amy Huberman was excellent in her role as Mark's girlfriend, leaving us wanting more in her short role.

Actually with a title like that and after the first few minutes you will catch the drift. The question if you will like were this is going or not, will depend on how much you like "dark humor". If you have seen quite a few of those movies, than you might anticipate quite a few things that will happen.Still it is done very good, many jokes are really exciting and the movie ends very well. One of the things that stuck out though, was the fact that this movie is Irish. Which means the guys playing this have a very unusual accent (for me and I'm sure for quite a few other guys), which also means, that I had some trouble getting every little thing that was said.The (inevitable) American Remake will come surely, but before that, make sure to watch this original!

Black comedies don't come much darker than this little gem from Ireland. Audiences who loved last year's Death At A Funeral will get lots of laughs from this very funny comedy about a couple of hapless wannabe film makers and their attempts to cope with a couple of accidental deaths in a small flat. Mark (Mark Doherty) is a struggling out of work actor desperately looking for a decent role in a film. He shares a poky basement flat with his girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman), and his paralysed wheelchair bound brother David (David O'Doherty). However, the rent is three months overdue, and there are a number of repairs to be made. However, their landlord Jack (Kevin Allen) is reluctant to do any work until the rent is paid. And Mark's slacker best friend Pierce (Irish comic Dylan Moran, from the TV series Black Books, etc) is trying to write a film script drawing upon their experiences. And then the first fatal accident occurs, and their situation gets markedly worse. As the unusual situation begins to get out of control, Pierce's helpful suggestions actually exacerbate things. There is a fine art to black comedy, as filmmakers have to walk a fine line between tasteful and tasteless, but this is the type of comedy where the British excel. Director Ian FitzGibbon and writer Mark Doherty get the delicate balance right here, and they push the material about as far as it can go without overstepping the boundaries of good taste. There are plenty of laugh-out loud moments throughout, some nice sight gags, and a running joke that eventually pays off. The film is a little slow to get going as it spends a lot of time in the early scenes establishing the characters and setting the scene. But patience is rewarded once the hits its stride, as it delivers big laughs. The film combines elements of top British films like the wonderful Withnail And I, and Shallow Grave. FitzGibbon and Doherty follow one outrageous implausibility with another, but the whole thing ultimately works. To reveal too much about the film's plot would spoil its surprises. The small but effective cast are attuned to the tone of the film, and their performances match the material. Doherty maintains a wonderfully deadpan style throughout and is quite fetching as the sad sack slacker hero. Moran brings charisma and charm to his unsympathetic and self-centred character. There are brief but telling from film director Neil Jordan and Jonathan Rhys Meyers that add to the film's idiosyncratic and offbeat flavour. A Film With Me In It is an unexpected delight and a film not to be missed!
