Fleecing the Dead
Review of Waking Ned (Wide Screen) by Ophelia

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: None

This was a film, which had been lurking on my 'to watch' list for longer than the iron lady was prime minister, and I finally got around to selecting it in my local video emporium the other night. A british film with a couple of well known names and an enticing plot, it promised to be good but delivered a hell of a lot more than it promised. THE PLOT The film is set in a small island in a far-flung extremity of Ireland (one can't help but wonder ...
...half the film expecting father ted to pop up). The village consists of only 50 people and is filled with interesting characters, such as the woman who won't marry the man in her life because he smells of pigs and the miserly old woman who constantly moans and lives with as many cats as imelda marcos had shoes. Our two heroes, Jackie (Ian Bannen) and Michael (David Kelly) read in the paper that someone within the village has won the lottery. They ... Read review

This is a Divine Comedy
Review of Waking Ned (Wide Screen) by christianfilmcritic

Advantages: Innocent british humour
Disadvantages: None

...the cunning plan. Waking Ned is a fun British comedy which relies on a simple story and the eccentricity of the characters to provide the humour. In this film we follow a couple of loveable rogues who attempt to get rich by pretending to be a lottery winner who had unfortunately died of shock when he had realized that he was a winner. That really is it, there is nothing complicated about this film at all, and that is one of the reasons why it is ...
...Conclusion & Rating = Waking Ned is a very enjoyable British comedy which after you get over the slight difficulty with understanding the Irish accent; it becomes a very easy film to watch. What it achieves is to make us laugh at the quirkiness of village life, as typified in TV shows such as "Last of The Summer Wine", although Waking Ned is much funnier. Sadly, this film will be lost on anyone who doesn't appreciate or understand ... Read review

Adorable comedy Irish style
Review of Waking Ned (Wide Screen) by katehop

Advantages: Great scenery, humour, witty
Disadvantages: pitty it wasn't filmed in Ireland

What a sweet, funny witty little film about two old irish men who scam 7 million pounds from the National Lottery. I watched this film on DVD and it;s a joy to watch, easy and funny with no violence or swearing just good humour. Set on the Isle of Man, pretending to be Ireland the film follows the lives of two friends who realise that there is a lottery winner in their community! Realising the winner 'Ned Devine'has died in his chair from the shock ...
...monkeys agree to pretend that one of them is to be Ned Devine when the Lottery come to visit. I watched this film three times as it has some brilliant scenes with the two main charcters, and great scenery. It's a good film for a relaxing night in with a hot chocolate and a bag of maltesers when you need cheering up. Definatly go see it! ... Read review

Waking Ned
Review of Waking Ned (Wide Screen) by Orinoco

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Two elderly best friends discover that somebody in the village has won the lottery – the question is who? Once they have figured out that it’s a friend of theirs called Ned Devine, they go to find him. When they do, they get a shock as Ned has died from shock after seeing that his lottery ticket was the winning one. The two friends decide that Ned would not want his win to be wasted but would want the entire village to share in his good fortune so ...
...that Ned has died in return for everyone sharing the lottery money. When a lottery official arrives in the village, the villagers find that fooling the official is harder than they’d imagined. The film was full of enjoyable Irish whimsy and the ending was one of the funniest I have ever seen. ... Read review
