The problem with comedy. - The Problem with People review by Nick
This is a great example of how you can have an interesting situation with some good actors who have to work with a lame script and clueless direction which produces a film with no real laughs, pace or timing. You realise how bad this film is when you compare it to a real Irish comedy like the hilarious Father Ted.
It's a great pity that The Problem with People wasn't the creation of Graham Linehan as it would have had all the chemistry and dynamism that this film desperately lacks.
