I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This movie is great fun to watch. It really made me laugh. Certainly if you have kids you will know what its all about. In fact if you have taken your kids on a very low budget holiday in England than this film will probably seem very familiar. I think it's quite an original film. I'm not sure about the ending though, it threw me a bit.Poor little Eamon is an emotionally neglected child of selfish immature parents. When they all go on holiday Mum and dad attempt to satisfy their own needs at the expense of their lovely but hyperactive child. Eamon takes sweet revenge however.The scenery is beautiful. The acting is mostly great except for a few uneasy moments. The ending is the only part of the film I am unsure what to think of. The couple next to me thought the ending was great though so it's a matter of opinion.

I really enjoyed this film's dark and disturbing humor. Eamon is a six year old boy who is obsessed with his mother and competes with his sexually frustrated father for her sole attention. When the three go on holiday the competition gets increasingly dark and twisted and the family seem doomed by their dysfunction. A well crafted film, it's unpredictability make it gripping. The little boy 'Eamon' is a unique and disturbing creation that you wont forget easily.'Eamon' is an Irish film with a small budget but don't expect it to be the new 'Once' as this is very different. I think the performances are great and although the film's creator might be a bit sick in the head she is a serious talent indeed. Bravo. Go see it. I could see this film being a little cult hit

For the first hour or so, the filmmaker does a good job of showing realistic interaction between the three characters, capturing the dynamics between mother, son and father. The camera-work and editing are sensible and mature, with no attempts at flashy style to get in the way of the material, a common failing for young filmmakers (only a brief dream/fantasy shot, seemingly played for laughs, breaks this tone).Unfortunately, in the last two-thirds the believability of the characters and their behaviour, and the focus on the power struggle between them, loses focus and gets derailed (or maybe runs off the road?). The ending not only stretches believability compared to the naturalistic tone of what has come before, but fails to fully relate to what the rest of the film was about. It certainly isn't the case that endings need to give 'closure' in the mainstream/Hollywood sense, but they do need to function as an end point for their particular stories in order to give a sense of unity, and this is what was missing here - there was no necessary connection between what happened at the end and everything else we saw happening preceding it.
