The Snapper
1993
****
Director: Stephen Frears
Cast: Colm Meaney, Tina Kellegher, Ruth McCabe, Colm O'Byrne

A young carefree Irish girl finds herself pregnant but she refuses to name the father. Colm Meaney is fantastic as the girl's dad who is climbing the walls. This hilarious slice of Irish life is based on Roddy Doyle's novel, which is the middle part of his Barrytown Trilogy.
The Commitments and The Van are the other two.
