Waking Ned Devine

Waking Ned Devine

'The New York Times' raves, "We have a winner!" In the tradition of 'The Full Monty' comes a "spectacularly funny" (Gene Siskel, 'SISKEL & EBERT') comedy about friends pulling together to make a dream come true. When Ned Devine dies from shock after winning the lottery, two longtime friends, Michael and Jackie, discover the body and agree Ned would want them to benefit from his good luck. They embark upon an outrageous scheme to claim the ticket - but first they have to get all the townsfolk to go along with their plan! A "four star triumph" ('Washington Times'), 'Waking Ned Devine' is definitely the comedy ticket of the year!

Synopsis: Comic Irish fable about little old man enlisting entire town to hoodwink lottery official. Offers plenty to fans of gentle, character-driven comedy with low-key screwball humor, warmly appealing eccentric characters.
