Great Film: Boy Eats Girl
Harmless fun
From the title "Boy eats Girl" it's pretty clear that this film is one
that requires you to leave your brain outside the door. Do that and you
should enjoy it. If you're hoping for anything more than a bit of
enjoyable fluff, look elsewhere.
The film starts off great, the audience gets to know the main
characters quite well, and there are more than a few good laughs. It
goes downhill slightly from the moment in the film were the infection
begins to spread. This is mainly because it all seems so rushed.
However the gory bits (which there is quite a lot of for a 15A film)
are varied and inventive enough to keep the viewers entertained.
The main cast all do a good job, in particular David Leon and Tadhg
Murphy. Samantha Mumba is good in her role, but she hasn't got as much
dialogue as you'd expect from the films lead. Some of the supporting
cast however (for example, Bryan Murray as Fr.Frears) are awful.
Overall it is an entertaining, funny, gory movie, and one of the best
Irish productions in a long time.
