Review of The Snapper (1993) by J D — 07 Feb 2008
Hilarious movie about illegitimate children and pints of Guinness. Colm Meaney is so great as the patriarch of a huge Dublin brood all under one roof, struggling with his daughter's scandalous pregnancy and trying to be a sensitive dad in an environment where that's nearly impossible.
What's great about the Curley family is that they just roll with every setback with a wry determination, resigned to their woes, but resigned with a great love for their family and a great sense of humor.
Would make a great double feature with "The Castle", another movie with a great working-class film family.
