A Film With Me In It
ALISON ROWATJune 26 2008

Star rating: **
Dir: Ian Fitzgibbon
With: Dylan Moran, Keith Allen

A clunky black comedy that relies on the charms of Dylan Moran to see it through. The stand-up with the sleepy delivery plays a wannabe screenwriter and pal to a similarly unemployed actor living in a dump in Dublin. While frantically trying to emulate Bruce Robinson's Withnail & I, director Ian Fitzgibbon just doesn't have the sharpness required to pull off this brand of dark farce.

The twists can be seen coming from space, the improv-style dialogue is dull and plodding, and it's difficult to warm to any of the characters, much less care what happens to them.

Today, 5.45pm, tomorrow 6pm, Cineworld Fountain Park
