Eamon

Eamon

Running time: 85 mins

With the eyes of an angel, but a devilish soul, he?s a Momma?s boy who won?t let her go.

Young Eamon looks innocent enough, but when it comes to monopolizing his mother Grace?s time and attention, he takes no prisoners, especially when it comes to his own dear, very horny, very frustrated dad, Daniel. The young lad will do almost anything to keep the couple apart, even though Grace actually wants nothing to do with her immature husband anyway. She?s more interested in indulging in her fantasies with a Speedo-clad, sunbathing hunk than allowing her estranged mate back into her bed.

Writer-director Margaret Corkery infuses her tale of this bumbling young family with a potent dose of intoxicating Irish humor that spills across the screen like a hefty draft of Guinness. She?s sharp and funny and tapped into the truth. And just when you think you know where she?s headed, she veers into another strange and interesting direction.
