The movie that introduced amiable idiots Conor and Jock to the world and subsequently spawned a wonderful TV series is in itself a comedy treat. Using many of the locations and most of the main characters that have become familiar, the movie is based on the 2007 scuttling of a cocaine-smuggling vessel off the Irish coast and our fictional heroes' subsequent road (cycle?) trip to obtain a package and become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. Although not quite as big-hearted as the small-screen series (and lacking the girls), the film is warm, hugely funny, very well-played by all concerned and the central relationship is an utter delight. Pitched somewhere between The Inbetweeners and This Country, if you have not yet discovered The Young Offenders, this little bit of joy awaits.
