WAKING NED (1998)

KIRK JONES

Plot

Irreverent Irish comedy set in the tiny village of Tullymore, where an apparently publicity-shy resident has just scooped the lottery jackpot. Jackie and Michael are the lovable rogues who lead the villagers in their mission to unearth their secretive neighbour, but it turns out that the not-so-lucky winner is old Ned, who's died of shock on the spot, still clutching the winning ticket. Chaos ensues as the community comes up with increasingly crazy plans to get their hands on the cash. A feelgood farce.
