In the tradition of Waking Ned, An Everlasting Piece is a wicked and witty original comedy from director Barry Levinson. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Belfast in the 1980s, the Catholic Colm (Barry McEvoy) and Protestant George (Brian F. O’Byrne) convince a criminally insane wig salesman known as “The Scalper”, played by the highly entertaining Billy Connolly, to sell them his inside information on the wig industry. The pair then set out to corner the incredibly competitive toupee market using whatever means necessary to make their venture a roaring success. What follows is a hilarious rollercoaster ride as the pair fight an uphill battle against some stiff competition, their religious differences and, of course, each other!

very weak
couple of laughs in this but a lot that was wasted. Mr Connolly seemed to be there only to put a name on the film.

not bad but not great either
this was funny in parts and was similar to 'waking ned' but apart from the great belfast accents and clever little one-liners, it was mostly a so-so ... read more »
