Craving a new Irish comedy to watch?
Well, you’re in luck as Colm Meaney and Paul Reiser star in the Ireland-set comedy The Problem with People, coming to cinemas in November.
Written and produced by Mad About You and Aliens star Reiser, The Problem with People is a heartwarming comedy about family, world peace… and sheep.
It tells the story of of Ciáran (Colm Meaney) and Barry (Paul Reiser); estranged cousins who reconnect, as a last dying wish of Ciáran’s father, who wants both sides of the family to find closure to a historical conflict.
“Honouring his father’s last wish to reunite with the American side of his family, Irishman Ciáran calls his cousin, Barry, out of the blue with the offer for him to visit his homeland,” reads the official synopsis.
“Barry, keen to escape from the daily grind of his New York real estate firm, agrees to make the long trip over.
“However, after an initially warm welcome, tensions soon boil over when it’s discovered that Barry has unexpectedly been left half the money in Ciáran’s father’s will.
With the two men now torn apart by greed and jealousy, resulting in a feud that spirals into a series of pretty squabbles and disastrous hijinks, will they ever be able to give peace a chance again?”.
“Both charming and brotherly off screen and combative, petty, and brotherly on screen, their partnership has the delightful fizz that fuels the energy of the story.”
The Problem with People opens in cinemas on Friday 8 November.
Safe to say, we will be sat!
