A vanity project by Wexford-based comedian Barry O'Neill, starring and directing and writing. About Ireland's answer to Inspector Clouseau, supported by a cast of Irish stars who were presumably roped into this to help Barry. A bumbling wannabe private detective investigates the mysterious disappearance of a fiddle player much to the irritation of police officers who have been assigned to the case. The private detective finds himself in over his head when evidence points to a Russian mobster.
Directed by Barry O'Neill, Dick Dickman, P.I. leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Bergin, Brendan O'Carroll, June Rodgers — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
