Michael Heide The idea is fantastic. A bunch of people keep having deadly accidents in the apartment of a broke wannabe-actor. Now he has to avoid looking like a deranged serial killer while the bodies start piling up and his best friend tries to write a movie around the whole thing. Tucker & Dale Versus Evil uses one half of that plot, and it is hilarious. 7 Psychopaths uses the other half, and it's brilliant. One would think that a black-humoured British amalgam of both ideas, starring Dylan Moran of Black Books and Shaun of the Dead would be even better. One would be very, very mistaken. The first wasted opportunity is casting Dylan Moran not as the lead, but as the grumpy alcoholic screenwriter friend who plays second fiddle to Mark Doherty. Doherty is unable to make his character likable, or what happens to him intriguing. Instead, he sleepwalks through the movie like a robot telling a joke. The next big flaw is the soundtrack, or lack thereof. Combined with the bad pacing, you never get a sense of events escalating. Instead, it's a string of the same thing happening over and over again until the film ends with an unlikely and unsatisfying denouement, while the subplots go nowhere. So much wasted potential. This could have been a sleeper hit with a cult following. And it turned out to be bargain bin fodder that's just not worth watching. At all. Stay away.

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.

napierslogs "A Film with Me in It" is dark, it's Irish, it's indie. It's almost everything that it claims to be, it's just not funny. I'm going to blame that on the characters. They're not real people, they're caricatures of the epitome of what it means to be a loser. Mark (Mark Doherty) and Pierce (Dylan Moran) are broke and jobless, and they're too incompetent to even know that they're broke and jobless, let alone how to not be.One is a screenwriter and the other's an actor, and they've decided to make a movie. When Mark's girlfriend Sally asks, "with what money?" Mark does not understand what she means. "Money! Like, real money, what is required to live in the real world!" Mark still has no clue what she's talking about. Yes, that joke is funny, but it also begs the question how did Mark even get a girlfriend in the first place? Questions like that are never answered. We're just supposed to laugh at these imbeciles rather than get to know them or understand them.Their movie is going to be like an Irish "Fargo" and they kidnap somebody with money. As you can guess with most dark comedies, life starts imitating art. But when most-likely-innocent, under-developed characters and animals are killed (not murdered just killed accidentally), I couldn't follow their humourless foibles.If they gave me actual characters, like real people whom I could connect to, "A Film With Me in It" could probably at least be watchable. But as is, every plot twist is meaningless because there is no development or understanding to anything anybody says or does.
