As an Irish-American very in touch with my irishness (loves to drink, melancholy outlook on life) I thought the movie was great. Of course, I can see how watching the movie stone sober would suck. If you follow the plot it moves along nicely with proper drunkenness. The beginning isn't bad, but continued inebriation is required the further you get into the movie. You should be properly :q:q:q:qfaced by the time the credits roll.
