Review of Celtic Pride (1996) by Robert C — 20 Jan 2011

If I come under fire for any of my reviews I will most certainly agree it will be because of niche comedies. All critics employ a certain bias at some point, if they deny it they are full of shit. This was in the hayday of comedies like this and I think the reason it was slammed so hard is because films like Happy Gilmore and such were coming out at this time.

One interesting note is this story and screenplay is that it was among the first batches of scripts that now Mega-director Judd Apatow penned and it has some of his comedy sensibilities in it. I am a huge fan of his even though he disappoints me on just as regular of a basis.

If theres ever a genre that paid critics miss the mark on its comedy. Most of them are too old to have a sense of humor to follow the progression of the genre. In my opinion not a bad film.
