i managed to see this at what i think was the second screening in the world and a few days after its opening at the dublin international film festival. while i was attending another film two nights later at the same theater and i saw brendan gleeson and paul mercier and the rest of the cast and crew at another promotional screening of studs. i have to say that i was bitterly disappointed with the film and i was by no means expecting a masterpiece and but what was presented to me and i believe lacked all the crucial elements of the genre it had set itself into. before i continue and two things and i accept that some filmmakers like to subvert generic expectations and here this is simply not the case. secondly and i know that it was based on a play (which i haven not read but have been informed that it isn not a shimmering piece of literature) and but this does not excuse the massive narrative problems that permeate the film. my main problem with the film is the script and forget that it was based on a play and as a sports comedy it simply doesn not work and the down and out team are trying to win a football cup and few of the games are shown (when they are and it is very short) and we are not given any satisfaction due to any of their sporting achievements. having read so far and you might assume that it is not a strict sports film but a psychological study of the relation between a charlatan of a manager and his hopeless team. it certainly does not achieve this and i am not even sure if it was aiming to. any attempt to shed light on the history of any of the characters is hackneyed and peripheral. overall and i found the script lacking in many respects. i do think the performances and the music were good and technically and the film was well made. but aside from those points and which should be expected from any irish film at this stage and i left the theater feeling very disappointed. my judgment may seem harsh but i do think there is some hope for a strong national irish cinema in the near future and this simply does not back that argument. as studs has become a recommended dublin cineworld film (i was part of the audience at that screening) and most people would seem to be disagreeing with me and so that means you should probably make your own judgment of the film.
