REading some of the other comments here I get but kinda confusing.
I thought it wove together a story about life and the chances we have and what we do with those chances. You got to see it from about 7 or 8 different perspectives. Yes the main story was about the friendship but it had this ripple effect that was true to life in a way most movies can't do smoothly.
- You have the guy who wants life to be more than what it is.
- That same guy has been struggling with depression and doesn't know what to do about it.
- The kid who knows more about life than he thinks but succumbs to it just the same.
- The sister who doesn't seem to have ever loved but wants something for herself but is scared to pursue it because she feels obligated to take care of her brother.
- The regular guy who just simply carries on in life not assessing anything until something forces him to look up.
There are so many Archetypes of people and mini-stories about life in this movie I don't see how you couldn't find something enjoyable about it. I know nothing about Irish conflict I think the movie would still work even if set in another country. You don't need the background of Irish civil war for it to be a good story. Truly it's just a funny story that exposes a ton of angles and nuances of life.

I suspect you also needing new things to watch over the holiday weekend.
I was floored about 45 minutes into the movie. It is so great and I can't really tell you why. If I tried to describe it to my friends they'd think I was out of my mind.
Only reason I heard of the movie was it was on the recently added on HBO max.
It was absurd yet somehow I love it hit all the right notes. Somehow I found parallels to my personal life and relationships with this movie.
This probably the best movie I just kind of came across and tried out on all of the streaming services over the years.

I'll watch cause it was a pretty funny crude stupid premise. But geeze they gotta know that the ghandi parts were probably the most funny.
G spot rocks the g spot, the solid ghandi dancers, him having ADD.
Probably considered low brow but funny.
