Info

A dissolute scriptwriter and a dejected actor become unwittingly drawn into a labyrinthine mess when several people experience bizarre accidental deaths in their flat. Though the men didn't deliberately cause any of the incidents, they fear that they will be unfairly pegged as murderers if they relay information to the cops, and promptly set about disposing of the corpses in gruesome ways.

A Film with Me in It Audience Reviews

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
ox-cassandra_bauer I found myself watching this movie, alone in bed, eating popcorn, hungover like a beach towel on a Tuesday night.Incredible.. 3 people and a dog and a police woman died in a flat from horrific freak accidents.. all in a matter of minuets, it's not funny but why am I laughing? Uncontrollable. Lots of twists, great film, well good enough. Love Dylan Moran, I hope to one day marry a man just like himself. Eight out of Ten stars for 'a film with me in it' please enjoy as much as I indeed did.Make sure to check out my list of movies to watch - recommended by myself. if you like this you are bound to enjoy the other titles in the list on my profile.
Ben Larson Mark Doherty not only stars in this film, he wrote it. I cannot imagine a mind that conceived of this. It is so bizarre that it is hilarious.We are talking two losers, Mark (Doherty) and his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran). Mark is faced with a series of accidents that leave him utterly incapable of action. He turns to Pierce, who just makes things worse.This film is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it is hilarious. Of course, you have to see the humor , not in the tragedies that occur, but in the response to it by Mark and Pierce.Amy Huberman was excellent in her role as Mark's girlfriend, leaving us wanting more in her short role.
Red Rat Dylan Moran I'm not sure about Dylan Moran. I cant decide if i find him funny, or pathetic. He seems to have this physical presence of someone who suffers from slight parkinsons or serious alcoholism and i honestly don't know which it is but its somewhat disturbing. The point is though when it comes to casting he's limited to the roles he can play but for this one he's ideally suited.This film is very dark and slightly funny film. The story, humour, dialogue is all uniquely Irish and will appeal to most but to those who get it especially. The premise is in the tradition of British comedy, unfeasibly ridiculous beyond belief. Two down and out wannabe script writer/film makers bundle their way through a series of explainable but hard to believe accidents which are made all the more worse by their bungled attempts to cover them up. No where does the film make sense but it's not supposed to, if you approach this film with logic you're wasting your time. You have to submit yourself to total fantasy and Irish wit. This film is in fact Murphy's Law.There are no perfect teeth American heroes to save the day, no beautiful people to carry the film on their looks, no slush no montage scenes of pretty woman hat changes, this film is as dark, damp, dreary and miserable as the dank basement flat it's set in and that's how it's supposed to be, a good British film.Is it hilarious? No not really, is it funny? yes.6/10
adv2011 This film is very funny, the cast are all excellent. The story, maybe its a bit mad, so what? Its a film, its not meant to be real. I would single out Amy Huberman as being excellent in this, I also saw her in another Irish film that played in Montreal in August, Satellites and Meteorites, where she was flawless. Dylan Moran, while perhaps reprising many of the other characters he has played previously, was very enjoyable to watch, as was Keith Allen though his part was predictably small. A few cameos at the end really were well placed, especially Johnny Rhys, though the context of his cameo was a little close to reality so I'm not sure what way he will come across to auds in Ireland. Throughly enjoyable film, the industry in Toronto reacted extremely positively to it and it along with Kisses really showed us all that Ireland can, when it wants, produce good product. Well done to all involved and I hope it goes well on its release.
