The Snapper Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
It sounds like a drab little tale, but in the hands of the film's director, Stephen Frears, it becomes a headlong tumble into good humor...
Newsweek
David Ansen
As warm and lived-in as an old pair of boots, The Snapper is an honorable feel-good movie.
TV Guide
Well written and directed, The Snapper celebrates common sense and human decency, qualities which triumph over prudishness and restrictive social mores.
Variety
Derek Elley
Casting and playing are uniformly tops, with special praise for Fionnuala Murphy as Kellegher's best pal, Ruth McCabe as the quiet, long-suffering mom, and the five kids as her loopy brothers and sisters.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Better-than-average sitcom stuff, enhanced by the lively performances, Doyle's own adaptation, and the able direction of Stephen Frears.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Intimate and effective little drama from Stephen Frears.
New York Times
Charles Hagen
A small, joyful lark of a film.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
A charming Irish comedy in the same spirit as Waking Ned Devine. Colm Meaney is far funnier than his Star Trek credentials would suggest.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
I can't get enough of those wacky Irish, and this film's got plenty.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This rip-roaring Irish comedy is the freshest surprise of the season.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Snapper sees its characters with warmth and acceptance, and earns its laughs by being wise about human nature.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
As always, Colm Meaney is brilliant, rough-hewn and bewildered by the changes going on around him, but determined to figure it all out and help his daughter as much a possible.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Stephen Frear's The Snapper hits the spot nicely, if your spot likes hearty rounds of working-class comedy.
