I am amazed this film has travelled so far, or that you can understand the local accents and lingo. Was a huge hit over here as it was as much a commentary on north Dublin in that era. It was originally a novel by Roddy Doyle that was turned into a screen play, but the real magic of the film was the casting which focused on musicans, i don't think any actual "actors" were hired in the making of the film. Some of the banter between the band members still makes me laugh out loud to this day, its as Dublin as it gets.
