Recommandations

Entertainment Weekly
Unfolds with such unforced inevitability that absurdity never condescends to sticky adorableness. - 90
Washington Post
The plot is far from intricate, but Waking Ned Devine more than makes up for its narrative simplicity with a uniformly engaging cast of Hibernian oddballs. - 80
Washington Post
Writer-director Kirk Jones III keeps the movie resolutely brisk and light, twisting mildly this way and that but never detouring for long. - 80
Variety
Bannen and the gawky Kelly, whose screen chemistry is vital to the film's success, make a delightful pair of stumbling shysters, and Jones' script weaves a sizable tapestry of other characters to flesh out the village. - 75
ReelViews
An unabashed excursion into feel good territory. - 75
San Francisco Examiner
There's not a whole lot to Waking Ned Devine, but it may be enough for those who like their quirky comedies from the British Isles - a burgeoning genre now - both atmospheric and gentle. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The wonder is that the cast -- a terrific ensemble with talents honed on such hallowed stages as the Abbey Theatre -- brings it off with far more verve than the slight tale deserves. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Writer-director Kirk Jones has the movie roll over, fetch and chase its own tail in order to make you love it.
