    The Guard

    by tomrsimon

    Unusual movie; reminded me a bit of Fargo in its quirky humor. It's not laugh out loud funny but is witty and amusing. Be aware that the f-bomb is used repeatedly throughout.

    Subtly Offensive

    by curlyfro

    this movie started good but then i can see how the writers thought i'd be funny to put a black man in ireland -- an fbi agent who's continually out smarted, wears loud clothes, and get made fun of by the locals. subtly offensive. i could only get though a 1/3 of this movie.

    Funny

    by Koali

    So very funny. Laugh funny. Funnier than the ones that try real hard to be funny. Finally, someone turned in a funny movie for adults. Wouldn'what's at hand.t you know it would be Don Cheadle and an Irishman. Quiet small ocean shore town and it's sheriff/cop gets to use his staff and know how to gain upon a diabolical intl'l drug smuggling ring pulled up to port. Real life sadness and almost like having a conversation with someone who likes to talk about things - throwing down the PC barriers. Don't recommend it for kids at all or even some teens - gives permission for stuff they don't need to do. Swearing, sex romps, excess drinking, racial offenses w/out knowing what you're saying. Human nature connections and scenarios that require understanding to get the full movie. Made me laugh alot.

    Clever, funny, a little hard to understand all the time what was going on. In the same vein as In Bruges (if you liked In Bruges, you will like this movie).

    A trip to Ireland

    by

    Admittedly, a bizarre trip to Ireland where you hang out with people you'd never associate with here at home. But Brendan Gleeson is so appealing (in his completely unappealing way) that you can't help but enjoy his company. And even though the action is ultimately somewhat predictable, the movie is very funny when everything happens in such a deadpan, matter-of-fact, totally Irish way. Very clever.
