Additional InformationAcclaimed author Roddy Doyle teams up with first-time feature director Kieron J. Walsh for WHEN BRENDAN MET TRUDY, a charming romantic comedy about an unlikely relationship that forms between a Dublin schoolteacher and a free-spirited woman with a hidden profession. Brendan (Peter McDonald) spends his off hours watching old movies and singing in a local choir. One night, he meets Trudy (Flora Montgomery) in a pub, and they agree to meet at the cinema later that week. When Trudy stands Brendan up, he tracks her down; surprisingly, a serious relationship develops. Things take a turn for the strange and bizarre when Brendan begins to suspect Trudy's nocturnal adventures might have to do with a series of violent castrations that have struck the city. Confronting her, he instead learns that Trudy is a professional burglar, which shocks him into even greater confusion. After convincing him to help her rob his sister's house, Brendan finds himself falling quite easily into a life of crime. A final daring heist of the new computers at Brendan's school finally brings the happy days to an end, but this does not dampen the film's persistently cheerful tone. Doyle's unpredictable script, combined with a bouncy pop soundtrack, makes Walsh's big-screen debut a lighthearted, engaging affair.

ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - ...[A] light, charming, teasing romantic comedy....The movie luxuriates in cinema references while laughing at its own fetishes -- a neat talent..., Sight and Sound - ...Pauline McLynn gives a well judged performance..., Box Office - ...Unmistakably Doyle, an infectiously acerbic romantic comedy with liberal doses of pop culture and media satire thrown in for good measure..., Los Angeles Times - ...WHEN BRENDAN MET TRUDY is a plucky comic valentine for those who love the movies..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...It has that unwound Roddy Doyle humor; the laughs don't hit you over the head, but tickle you behind the knee. And there is, as usual, Doyle's great pleasure in kidding the Irish..., New York Times - ...A gleeful comic anthology of cinematic jokes and references....A safe, sweet outlaw fantasy....[The film] has enough frisky energy to kick up some adrenaline...
