The Snapper Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Snapper sees its characters with warmth and acceptance, and earns its laughs by being wise about human nature.
New York Times
Charles Hagen
A small, joyful lark of a film.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The marriage of humor and drama is admittedly imperfect, but it works well enough to occasionally spawn laughter and touch the heart, and there's a crucial scene between Colm Meaney and Tina Kellegher that is beautifully written, acted, and directed.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Intimate and effective little drama from Stephen Frears.
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.
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.
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.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This rip-roaring Irish comedy is the freshest surprise of the season.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Stephen Frear's The Snapper hits the spot nicely, if your spot likes hearty rounds of working-class comedy.
TV Guide
Well written and directed, The Snapper celebrates common sense and human decency, qualities which triumph over prudishness and restrictive social mores.
