This is possibly one of the worst examples of culture man has ever produced. There is not a single redeeming feature about this tripe The acting is awful. The direction is pedestrian and awful. The screenplay is awful. Even beautiful Ireland looks awful. If you want to experience a cultural artifact that will make you despair of civilisation's achievements then this is it. Tony Hawks must have mortgaged and remortgaged his house to raise the funds for this as I cannot imagine a single penny being volunteered by anyone who is not currently brain dead and on life support. I see he has made another movie from one of his books. The man needs to be stopped from inflicting this utter, utter plop on the world

Well... I thought this might be a nice film to watch before going to sleep, but I was wrong... Whilst lying in my bed I couldn't shake the urge to write about how bland, meaningless and ropey this film was, so I'm here.I love a lot of British films, films that are based on true stories and films done independently. On paper this film looked like it'd be worth a shot at the very least but it was more like a shot in the foot. I hung on, hoping it was leading to a punchline or at least something to reward the endurance of the boredom... I was hugely disappointed! The best thing about this film was the song that had the line 'It gets much better than this'... At least the person who chose the music had a sense of humour unlike the rest of 'em.I honestly have to say this is the worst film I've ever seen! Avoid like the plague, unless you like bland, uneventful and thoughtless films.

Was looking for something to watch tonight and stumbled upon this movie. Not knowing anything about it I took a chance. What a great surprise.The only thing you need to know about this film is that it is about people being people and the humanity of the world we live in. It embraces the good and the bad in all of us in a warm and genuine way. That's something which is in terribly short supply in the movie industry these days.If you are looking for mindless violence, scantily clad models, plastic actors, shallow performances, recycled ideas, bombs going off, expensive special effects and the like you might want to skip this one. It's not for you. But if you want a movie that will engage and captivate from beginning to end, you won't be disappointed.The story line was not just original it was inspiring. The casting was excellent. Tony Hawks performance was superb. The director did a great job with the cinematography, staging scenes and capturing moments, and matching people with their roles.The only negative thing I can say about the movie was that every once in a while it felt like some of the lines were a bit forced. But then again, taking a book and making a movie out of it always comes with special challenges.I give this movie a 10. Magnificent.

So having just returned from the world premier of 'Round Ireland with a Fridge' I felt compelled to put the word out...What a fantastic film! People always say 'oh the film is never as good as the book' but in this case I would not agree. Obviously it differs from the book in certain parts, but it's a film and the book's a book so they are different forms of media (if you haven't read the book, you definitely should). The film has a really rounded-story feel to it, leaving you feeling as if you have seen a complete story which is rare nowadays as most people are hoping for a sequel! It was a warming film about a guy (who's nice in real life!), a bet with his mate and a fridge (an obvious must for a film about hitchhiking!) with loads of good gags in it. I can imagine the fun it would be to be in the room with Tony Hawks and Ed Bye as they write the jokes! During the credits you'll see that quite a lot of the lovely music throughout the film was actually done by Tony Hawks himself which is quite impressive and just goes to show how much personal effort has gone into the film, and it shows.It had a loads of good characters with a good general positive feel about all of them, beautiful scenery, good gags and a fridge! Lots of little jokes as well such as the 'Fridge D'Or production company' (shame on you if you don't get it) Well worth going out to the cinema to watch!Look out for Tony Hawks' other films, would be a shame to let good examples of books-being-done-well-as-films pass you by!Oh, why 9 out of 10 you cry? Well only because of one thing... People were laughing/talking over a nice little joke at the end of the credits (fridge related of course). Other than that, top film and perfect evening.
