The Snpper is certainly a lively and boisterous movie. Nobody is the least bit shy about expressing their opinion loudly and often. I have watched a lot of British and Irish movies over the years, but because of the emotional delivery and spreed of their talking, I missed a lot of details in the dialogue. But also because of the emotions displayed, I always had an idea about the tenor of the conversations. I thought a few of the subplots could have been given more screen time, but then again, they were almost always talking about the titular baby-to-be so I guess that is fair. Plus, the person who wrote the novel adapted it to the screenplay, so hr must have imported what he thought was important. (Hopefully future mothers watching the movie won’t come away thinking binge drinking during pregnancy is good for the baby and realize that yes, this is just a movie.) But The Snapper was entertaining and that is what counts.
