Waking Ned Devine Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Some funny parts, but kids may not be interested.
TV Guide
Sandra Contreras
Jones could have done worse than to fashion this slight entertainment, but it's also clear that he could do much better.
Variety
Derek Elley
A genial, feel-good item.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Though it strives for broad humor, pushing cuteness and light irony, this bland 1998 movie isn't exactly a comedy.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
You'll love Waking Ned Devine.
Film Threat
Ilana Lindsey
The film is tediously slow. The actors seem to pause too long between lines and the storytelling is far too smooth.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
Completely delightful movie.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
There is no sense of newness to the story.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Gentle in most of its humor, but also has just enough edge and bite to keep it from being gaggingly gooey.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
There is some nudity in Ned Devine, but it's the funniest nudity in movies in ages.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
If this film doesn't make you want to smile, you've no one to blame but yourself.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Another one of those delightful village comedies that seem to spin out of the British isles annually.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Sodden, middle-of-the-lane humor of this sort has never bothered me before -- I just think perhaps the Irish might enjoy being the subject of a film with slightly less alcohol and a smidgen more honesty to it for once.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Delightful.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
It's instructive that Waking Ned Devine is being so aggressively sold as a feel-good comedy; the "good" feeling in question is called condescension.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
Perfectly competent new Irish working-class comedy.
