A film with me in it

What not to do when accidently four people and a dog get killed at your home

It always works well if a wonderfully entertaining director provides you with quotes like "kings of inertia!", "princes of paralysis" and "their problems are always solved in the pub" beforehand to describe the main characters, adding they are basically Irish archetypes. Or says about one of his actors that you're wondering whether he is "either brilliant or doesn't know his lines"

But even without those comments, this would have been a highly entertaining film with pitchblack humor about two Losers who have to deal with a dead brother, dead ex-girlfriend, dead landlord and dead cop inside their home. Shallow Grave-ish, and add some Adaptationesque self-references (one of these days lightning will strike me down for this seemingly endless stream of description-through-reference) and you have a wonderful film with wonderful actors providing wonderful dialogues in a wonderful way. Did I mention the fact that I found it highly entertaining?
