What if bad luck happens to slackers, are they able to raise their game?

Wacky dark Irish comedy, think Very Bad Things. The series of unfortunate accidents and bodycount increases faster than their ability to cope with the situation, spiraling out of control in no time. Still, true character shows in difficult times, which is exactly what Dylan Moran (Black Books) and Mark Doherty do.

description: Losers, movie in the making, brother in wheelchair, rented house, bad condition of house, accidents, death, faking death
(Geoffrey): (rating 8)
How big is the chance that in an hour, your dog dies because it is killed by a hanging closet, your brother by a lamp, your landlord by a screwdrier, your wife by a pin, a police cop by the window? That al in your house. Is it supernatural? No, what about accidents? Definately! How big is that chance? And if that happens, what would you do? Call 911, call the cops? How would they react to the story?
This movie is a very black comedy and very well done. Definately one of the better ones.

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?
