Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
This is the third film adapted from a fictional trilogy by Irish writer Roddy_Doyle about families living in a working-class Dublin neighborhood. The first was director Alan_Parker's smashing music mockumentary The_Commitments and the second was the hilarious comedy The_Snapper, directed by Stephen_Frears. Frears also directs this film, which is about two unemployed buddies who convert a dilapidated van into Bimbo's Burgers, a mobile fast-food joint selling fish and chips and hamburgers. Bimbo (Donal O'Kelly) is the brains behind the operation, while his slacker friend Larry (Colm Meany) is his bumbling helper. They first set up shop outside a pub to capture patrons streaming out after watching a telecast of Ireland playing in the World Cup. When Ireland is eliminated, the bumbling entrepreneurs move to a forlorn beach. They get the help of Larry's daughter Diane (Neili_Conroy) and son Kevin (Rauidhuri_Conroy), who soon becomes so disgusted with the fare that he becomes a vegetarian. Michael Betzold, Rovi
