Well...I have to say "Intermission" is a laugh and a half! Oh n Cillian Murphy is SO cute. It's true what people have said i'm afraid; being Irish would definitely help u 2 understand the movie a bit better. However, i'm half n half. Half Irish and half Scottish. So all is not lost for those who r not the 100%. Don't worry. This movie definitely does give the rest of the world a peak into Irish culture. Some parts, of course r not as bad as portrayed, but some r sadly (Believe me)

Seeing this movie at the pictures was a complete waste, as I spent majority of the time explaining the cracks to my "non-Irish" friends!Haha. So, if u r NOT Irish, then the subtitles option is always at the ready!

I believe this movie is worth a watch.

It's all about the "Banter!"

Hands down, this movie is the BEST movie i've ever seen in my puff! The "Glasgow Banter". That's what it's all about. If you are not from Scotland or Glasgow even, I doubt you will appreciate the humour.

I remember watching this film with a bunch of American friends. They simply didn't get it. But can you blame them? Only a true Scot would understand what the hell they were talking about.

The characters are not just characters in some small Scottish film, they are real people, planted all over Glasgow. In other words there is a Michael and Thomas in every pub and a little old woman (complaining about her ramp) in every tenement building. This is real life people, not just a "movie". To be honest, it's sort of a wake up call to the masses. This is what Glasgow is like, so if you want your head panned in, you are welcome to visit any time. I'm only joking.

I really don't know if I loved this movie so much because, it's very seldom a real good Glasgow film is made, or because I can relate to everything that happened in the storyline. It's hard to tell.

So if you would like to see what Glasgow is like and what the people here have to offer I advise you 2 give it a watch, it's well worth it. Oh n the subtitles r always available for your viewing pleasure.

ENJOY...
