05/28/2011 When Brendan Met Trudy ,written by Roddy Doyle(The Snapper and The Van),is probably one of Ireland's greatest comedies. I personally absolutely loved this movie. Peter McDonald and Flora Montgomery work brilliantly together. If you ever get the drive or eagerness to watch an Irish Comedy film choose When Brendan Met Trudy.

It's not a perfect comedy by any means but the Irish setting, the writing of Roddy Doyle and the astute casting of Flora Montgomery and Peter McDonald make it worth a look. See more 07/06/2009 While "The Commitments" was about a poorer, working class, Ireland - never properly touched by the world economy, When Brendan met Trudy is about the Celtic Tiger Dublin. Brash, confident, and ultimately full of shite. Doyle takes a simple romantic comedy and builds in a damning indictment of the Nouveaux Oirish an over-confident new middle class that will be feeling it the most now the good times are over. Fantastic performances from all the actors, especially the bewildered Brendan and his polar opposite, Trudy. See more 02/28/2009 While the adaptation of Doyle's book turns out well, the romantic story of finding each other is nothiing special. The usual quirkiness in the characters is there and provides some lightly humerous moments. See more 02/16/2009 Quite funny and a clever story.
