Waking Ned Devine Movie Review 

A Feel Good Indie Irish Film

Waking Ned Devine is a really good indie Irish film. I don't really watch foreign films to often but there's a level of charm in the film, which is greatly appreciated.
Waking Ned Devine follows the lives of a small Irish villages as one of their own wins the lottery. Unfortunately, the winner dies of shock. So, the rest of the town decide to try and fool the lottery by claiming that one of their own is Ned Devine, alive and well ready to claim his winnings.
If you want to watch a light hearted comedy, this film is perfect. The acting is done well, the comedic aspects get a good laugh out of you, and the overall feeling of the film put a smile on my face.
All of the actors did a fine job. They appeared as if they were all having a good time while making this movie. They all felt natural in there roles, as if there was someone going around filming the lives of these villagers.
I think you'll be surprised to find out how funny this movie can be. It's more to the tune of light hearted humor. I found myself at the very least getting a chuckle out of most of the jokes, but there are a few really good laugh out loud ones as well.
The movie is the perfect length at about an hour and a half. It doesn't feel very long. They made the right choice here.
If you want to watch a good solid film, and you're not sure what to see next, you might find yourself enjoying this little gem.



final score: 4/5
