Waking Ned Devine

Waking Ned Devine

1998

After discovering that lucky local Ned Devine (Jimmy Keogh) croaked from the shock of hitting the jackpot in the national lottery, Jackie (Ian Bannen) and Michael (David Kelly) mastermind a scheme to impersonate the dead man and collect his prize money. But to pull it off, they'll need buy-in from the rest of Tulaigh Mohr's denizens -- and not everyone is willing to cooperate. Fionnula Flanagan co-stars in this quirky cinematic charmer.

Finally, a comedy that will make you feel like a million bucks.
