A dissolute scriptwriter and a dejected actor become unwittingly drawn into a labyrinthine mess when several people experience bizarre accidental deaths in their flat. Though the men didn't deliberately cause any of the incidents, they fear that they will be unfairly pegged as murderers if they relay information to the cops, and promptly set about disposing of the corpses in gruesome ways.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
If you take a cast of good comedians you might hope for some good jokes but there aren't many here.Moran is funny is his normal crazed way but the rest of the cast aren't. The script is poor with the dialogue being stilted and, more importantly, just dull.The acting is OK, it just isn't funny.The plot seems quite good if not especially original but the slapstick falls flat and there is nothing else to keep you interested.This was quite hard to watch to the end and the ending isn't really interesting enough to have bothered.
This black comedy is a story of Pierce (Dylan Moran) and Mark (Mark Doherty), two jobless Irish friends sharing a run down apartment with Mark's girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman), and Mark's disabled brother David (David O'Doherty). The apartment is owned by a disgruntled Jack (Keith Allen). The movie suddenly takes a turn for the worse one day in their uneventful and eroding lives.The movie really takes the very definitive yet subtle elements of black comedy and ties it together with very interesting plot twists. Although no comparison can be made, for the sake of a relative scale- A Film with Me in It is abreast with some of the blackest comedy works of the Coen Brothers (such as Burn After Reading, Barton Fink and The Man Who Wasn't There).The movie tends to drag a little here and there, but makes up for it in the fine character development and cinematography. As the plot progresses, the viewer is often subtly taunted to question their understanding of the story so far.I'm a fan of Dylan Moran's stand-up work, and he has lived up to my expectations of him on the screen as well. All in all, it's definitely a good watch.
This film stars Dylan Moran and someone who's name and face I will try to block from memory (this non person also wrote the screenplay). It has something to do with an actor who has to deal with dead bodies and attempts to get work. Or something.I saw this as part of the IFC in Theaters cable service and all I can say is I'm so glad this was essentially a freebie since the movie was part of the service I already pay for. Actually the other thing I can say is this is only the second film I've seen from IFC Films that I can't understand how it got picked up for release.This is an unfunny film that made me stare at the screen wondering what I was supposed to be laughing at. Moran is a funny comedian, I'm a huge fan of his, but he's not the star some other guy is so I had to really suffer. The best way to describe this is as the sort of odd ultra dry humor that is so dry as to not be funny. Who did Neil Jordan owe that he got hooked up with the writer and star?(Jordan's attitude at the beginning is how I felt about the film) A waste of time
Well if a good romp in some dark territory sounds like fun then this is your movie, def low budget, but the cast more than makes up for it as any good dark comedy classics will prove.After a series of set-up albeit, believable accidents happen. The pair, comprised of a compulsive drunk, gambling, writer and a dim witted, down on his luck actor. Together they must use their skills to avoid the jail time that will surely ensue, after they make the situation progressively worse.I'll give it doesn't take too much to figure out most of it but the trip was worth the ticket cost and seeing some of the cast from Shaun of the Dead working was a great surprise and a joy.If you enjoy dark humor and the witty humor of the the Irish/English then you'll enjoy this one no matter the side of the world you hail from.
