With some bizarre parochial characterisations worthy of Father Ted and more than a touch of Garth Merenghi, Extra Ordinary is an unexpectedly delightful, extremely silly, surprisingly sweet and very funny Irish take on supernatural tales, as local driving instructor/medium Rose (a gloriously deadpan performance by Maeve Higgins) tries to rescue the potential-sacrificial daughter of her potential love interest Martin (spot-on silliness by Barry Ward) from the Satan-summoning clutches of a washed up Rockstar (in broad strokes by Will Forte) - now there's a plot summary! It is all wonderfully daft, mostly played and written beautifully, and the movie certainly punches above its weight in the comedy stakes.
