Purely Joyful Movie!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

When I discovered Moone Boy, I found the answer to everything I'd hoped for in a series, considering my love for things Irish! It is the story of Martin Moone, a boy growing up in Roscommon, with three scary older sisters and a helpful imaginary friend named Sean Murphy. As the series continues, wonderful new characters come into the picture: Padraic, the comical best friend; Dessie, the church musician and love interest for older sister Fidelma; the Bonner Brothers and their hapless dad; Granddad Moone, who used to be a musician in the old days; the parish priest, who is a very nice guy, but harried; the mom's slutty friend; and a family of travelers which includes Martin's love interest. This show just gives and gives! And I LOVE the opening song, "Where's Me Jumper?".

Honestly, whenever it was on, it really makes you laugh and as someone who lives in rural Ireland, there is a connection that the whole series takes place in Boyle where Chris O'Dowd grew up in! Seriously, Boyle badly needs to be remembered as a nice little town in which it has potential to make it into a tourist attraction! Anyways Chris O'Dowd really does well in an Irish comedy series, I am really surprised he wasn't involved with Father Ted in the 1990's. David Rawle as the boy is such a great little actor, he is one of the best Irish young actors out there who I can see a future for him and I'm not kidding! This is a really great series that you have to watch regardless if you are Irish or not! It makes you laugh your head off and I give this TV series 8/10!

First of all I would like to point out that this is a comedy based in Ireland please everybody stop saying "British comedy". I have watched and laughed through each episode. Padric is a excellent character i knew someone just like him when i was 12! Having grown up in Ireland during this period the music the details on the set all bring my childhood rushing back to me and even though growing up in Ireland at this time was not a bed of roses its lovely to watch it with humour. in fact i watched it with my Greek husband and he thought it was brilliant! well done to Chris o Dowd I'm looking forward to the next series!

Truly unique and original........ or maybe just a typical Irish childhood experience resulting in his participation to the human race. I'm not quite sure if I ever had an imaginary friend though, although I am Irish so maybe I did, actually I did and Chris did too... evidently. (It was quite boring living in the Irish country-side you know, and in addition, growing up in the 1980's in a recession definitely didn't help with the boredom!) But we did have the A-Team to watch and Where's me Jumper to listen to...... and ZZ Top!, but all that set aside, it was standard procedure to have an imaginary friend in rural Ireland! In fact growing up one of my many many REAL pals had an imaginary friend that he called 'Mr. Kipling'. He often tried to introduce him to me!After watching the first episode I could see the similarities to Fr. Ted but that was purely down to the fact that it was simply Irish. Steve Coogan's character is outstanding and his Irish accent was surprisingly acceptable, we want to see more of him (but less of his pecks). Not sure if that was a Cork accent though, not that it matters of course but Corkonian fish mongers don't generally go to Roscommon, they have an ocean full of fish.Johnny Vegas hasn't made an appearance yet but I hope he and Steve's characters get to unite at some point. I wonder what role Johhny will get to fulfill, another sleazy Irish fish mongering womanizer? Obviously not but I cant wait to see what they have come up with nonetheless.My rating: 9 out of 9!
