An Everlasting Piece (2000)
A thoroughly delightful and very funny film
This comedy is very highly underrated and overlooked by many. I love puns, and the title is part of what attracted me ; that and the addition of Billy Connolly to the cast. Colm and George are wonderful as the prospective hair-piece salesmen , and Colm's girlfriend is excellent in her role. My personal preference for less use of the "F" word aside , this is a terrifically funny movie. The plot is a very good one. I'm American and don't have the emotional attachment to religious controversy as many others to this subject matter - but I feel it is handled in a respectful manner. There are many scenes which stand out in my recollection of the film as being very hilarious , the one about " herpes " being my vote for the best. This is just a funny, feel-good film and I recommend it to anyone wanting a good laugh. The somewhat eccentric family scenes with Colm will have you rolling on the floor.I found the Mom and the knickers on her head to be quite amusing. George and his poetry are right up there with the other scenes in making this comedy stand out. I happen to be a big fan of 80's music , and the soundtrack has some very good songs. This is one film I always recommend to my friends who are unfamiliar with British comedies, and the like. Watch it !! You won't be disappointed.
