On the Nose

| 23 October 2001 (USA)

Brendan is a janitor at a university who has a fondness for gambling, especially betting on horse races. However, he doesn't have much skill at it, and poorly considered bets have drained the bank account he'd set aside for his daughter's education. Brendan's wife has made Brendan promise to give up gambling, but when their daughter announces she's just been accepted to Trinity College in Ireland, Brendan has to come up with the tuition money, and fast. While doing his sweeping at work, Brendan makes a remarkable discovery - the preserved head of an aboriginal tribesman who, under proper conditions, can pick the winners in horse races.

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Kevin Grealey Worth watching but i wouldn't give it more than that. Coltrane was very good and Brenda Blythen wasn't given enough material to show her talents.It was a bit slow in places and you couldn't stop yourself thinking that they could've made this movie a lot funnier....Similar to let it ride with Richard Dreyfuss but not quite as amusing.Oh and to the last poster.... Aykroyds mistress is FAR from gorgeous!!! ....you want gorgeous tap in Marissa Tomei ! The woman out of My Cousin Vinney and many more...Now go watch let it ride...A far better movie withing the same genre.

j greenwood As a member of the audience at the premiere, I found myself constantly laughing and looking forward to the next crazy scene. The ensemble cast (not unlike the group in Brenda Blethyn's recent movie, Saving Grace) made for a rich banter and many hilarious moments. Robbie Coltrane, as the working class bloke trying to do right for his family, was a wonderful foil for the rest of the cast. The young fellow who played his assistant did a fabulous job of presenting a likeable, mischievous guy who doesn't always do the right thing. Coltrane's mother-in-law character provides some of the funniest lines of the film.If you want a light-hearted, feel-good movie, don't miss On the Nose.I highly recommend it.

james_jandrisch Brilliant!Yeah okay so I wrote the music for this film- But still,if you cannot crack a wonderful smile on your way out of the theatre after this movie, you should probably get a physical....Terrific Story, Great Cast, Fantastic Crew- And the best time of my life..P.S.A Fiver to the one who can guess where the majority of the instruments used in this film came from......(David and Scott you're not eligible, kay?)

FactoryGirl I saw the first of two sold out screenings of "On The Nose" at the Vancouver International Film Festival (2001). Before the film began, the director, David Caffery, said a few words about this Irish/Canadian production. He was funny and charming so audience opinion may have been swayed just a little bit. Not that it mattered."On The Nose" is an, as the British say, "Brilliant!" film. Coltrane is at his best playing a college porter addicted to gambling who finds a very unique way of picking winning race horses. The film is filled with amusing characters and conflicts. At times the audience laughed so hard I missed lines. I guess I'll just have to see the film again. :-)If you're a Coltrane fan you shouldn't miss this one. If you're a fan of "little" Irish films this one will please you. If you're a fan of comedy and want to enjoy a good laugh and a cheer, by all means see "On The Nose."
