Black comedies don't come much darker than this little gem from Ireland. Audiences who loved last year's Death At A Funeral will get lots of laughs from this very funny comedy about a couple of hapless wannabe film makers and their attempts to cope with a couple of accidental deaths in a small flat. Mark (Mark Doherty) is a struggling out of work actor desperately looking for a decent role in a film. He shares a poky basement flat with his girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman), and his paralysed wheelchair bound brother David (David O'Doherty). However, the rent is three months overdue, and there are a number of repairs to be made. However, their landlord Jack (Kevin Allen) is reluctant to do any work until the rent is paid. And Mark's slacker best friend Pierce (Irish comic Dylan Moran, from the TV series Black Books, etc) is trying to write a film script drawing upon their experiences. And then the first fatal accident occurs, and their situation gets markedly worse. As the unusual situation begins to get out of control, Pierce's helpful suggestions actually exacerbate things. There is a fine art to black comedy, as filmmakers have to walk a fine line between tasteful and tasteless, but this is the type of comedy where the British excel. Director Ian FitzGibbon and writer Mark Doherty get the delicate balance right here, and they push the material about as far as it can go without overstepping the boundaries of good taste. There are plenty of laugh-out loud moments throughout, some nice sight gags, and a running joke that eventually pays off. The film is a little slow to get going as it spends a lot of time in the early scenes establishing the characters and setting the scene. But patience is rewarded once the hits its stride, as it delivers big laughs. The film combines elements of top British films like the wonderful Withnail And I, and Shallow Grave. FitzGibbon and Doherty follow one outrageous implausibility with another, but the whole thing ultimately works. To reveal too much about the film's plot would spoil its surprises. The small but effective cast are attuned to the tone of the film, and their performances match the material. Doherty maintains a wonderfully deadpan style throughout and is quite fetching as the sad sack slacker hero. Moran brings charisma and charm to his unsympathetic and self-centred character. There are brief but telling from film director Neil Jordan and Jonathan Rhys Meyers that add to the film's idiosyncratic and offbeat flavour. A Film With Me In It is an unexpected delight and a film not to be missed!
