Well... it's an Irish comedy movie. So the humor will always be there and that hasn't dated
It's just Dublin has changed. To be fair to the movie it's 21 years old so what can you expect :pac: But it's just the little things that make you go 'geez i remember that!' you know?
- The shot of Sharon coming out of Easons O'Connel street (you'd hardly know it lol)
- Chipper Vans outside pubs.
- even the old garda car :pac:
- payphones.
- The shot where Colm Meaney drives sharon to hospital and you see town.
- I could go on...
Like The Snapper (visually) captured Dublin so well. Down to the little things But as I say... it's 21 years old. 0 -

one thing that used to irk me about many irish made or based films was using outdated garda/cars and uniforms even up to mid 2000's0 -

All of this
I love late 80's early 90's Irish stuff, there's something that is just a great flashback, be it the locations, the clothes (old tracksuits, people wearing Opel branded Ireland jerseys), those s'hithole new estate pubs that feature in Roddy Doyle films before they all got renovated (still a few with the dank about I'm sure) the type of tellys we all had before widescreen became popular about 14 years ago (only got ours in 2003 or so), old motors (particularly ambulances, the old green Dublin buses, and cop cars), the furniture and decor in the houses, all of that.
I was watching a Roddy Doyle 3 part drama called Family not too long ago on Youtube. The storyline itself wasn't particularly great (wasn't awful like, but just had no real continuity to it), I just found the reminiscing value of it far more entertaining :pac: (the wife doing her shopping in Crazy Prices, I'd forgotten about them) 0 -
