Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I was cleaning my computer, somehow I found this comment that I wrote for this movie, I don't think that it was published, So here it is.--- There are two things that I remembered the most.1. One of the dialogs between the two characters."Are you gay? Yes, I am. It's the fashion thing, isn't it? It is everything. I am not, by the way. I figured. It is the hair thing, isn't it? It is... everything." That could be one of the things that people can talk about.2. When they were about to see the inspector for their drug problems, the gay guy was very nervous. You can see it through his eyes. The instant he saw the inspector who had sex with him, his eyes changed immediately which he didn't even have to say anything to show that. Therefore, he has proved that he is a good actor for being able to express subtle things just through his eyes.There is one particular scene that did not make any sense to me. When Shane discovered the hidden drug, the next day when he was at the office, one of his workers said to him: "don't worry son, it might never happen." And he smiled back.Another thing that seems to be a little unreasonable is that the drug dealer Keith is gay. He didn't act or look like gay, and he didn't seem to be interested in Shane sexually.Even though Ireland is another English speaking country, however, this movie still seems a little distant from where I am. It is about young people's life, I don't feel that most people can relate in the USA. Overall, it is a good film.

Two Irish lads move in together. Vincent is a well-balanced gay art student and Shane is a sheltered and shy civil servant. Through a makeover a la "Queer Eye," Vincent helps Shane gain self-confidence. Unfortunately, Shane falls into the wrong crowd and starts trafficking drugs. Is this a makeover movie (complete with themes about being true to yourself) or a movie about the Irish drug scene? It tries to be both, but it never finds a good balance. It ultimately strives to be about the relationship between the two young men, but it never really succeeds because the relationship is never fully developed for the viewer. This problem could have been easily avoided--two very endearing deleted scenes should have been kept in the film for sure. There are some random scenes that seem to come out of nowhere, but it all pieces together nicely (perhaps too nicely) in the end. The lead character does some awful things, like being part of a hit and run where a woman is terribly injured and a man is severely beaten when trying to call the cops, but in the end it is all okay because he's a likable guy with a fabulous gay roommate who has unexpectedly got the hook-up. Oh, please. Still, the overall theme of being yourself and true to yourself is great, even if the movie goes about expressing it in a half-assed way. And both lead actors are irresistibly cute.

Although there is a gay lead in first-time director David Gleeson's "Cowboys and Angels", this is by no means a gay film, rather a touching and heartwarming story of two young men coming-of-age in the heart of Dublin. Rivaling anything that's on the market today in the way of teen films, this rises above any of them with great performances and a fresh look at some old themes. It might be too sweet at times and neatly wrapped but the Irish charm of the characters keeps it afloat throughout.Michael Legge plays Shane Butler, a geeky 20 year old lad from the suburbs who has just moved to Dublin. While searching for a flat to rent he stumbles upon a fellow classmate from high school, Vincent (Allen Leech), and the two reconnect when they both happen to be looking at the same apartment to rent. They decide to share it and Shane's adventure in the big city begins.Shane is straight, has a quiet demeanor, and looks like his mom dressed him, while Vincent is more outgoing, dresses and looks funky, oh, and is gay. The two don't quite hit it off at first, but their friendship develops over time and Vincent takes him under his wing, as a friend and partly as a fashion project. Shane falls for a girl named Gemma (Amy Shiels) who works in a nearby burger joint, and it just so happens an old classmate of Vincent's. Shane has a hard time making the connection with her and is envious of her and Vincent's friendship. To make matters worse, Shane finds some drugs in the buildings lobby, he gets caught by the dealer (David Murray), and is then offered a large sum of money to make a run. He takes the offer hoping the money can either buy him a new wardrobe or help put him into art school and get him out of his dead-end job at the civil service department. A subplot involves a coworker named Jerry that is truly touching. In any event, Shane falls into the wrong crowd and friendships are tested, hearts broken, and loved ones lost. But in the end, true friendship endures and you can't help be touched by either one, the cowboy or angel.

Have to say i enjoyed watching this one. It was a lot of fun to watch a film set in Limerick being from here and recognising a couple of faces. Not a good enough reason I know, don't imagine I'd have had as much time for it otherwise. The dialogue and acting was a bit stilted at times and the plot had quite a few holes in it.(Also people don't tend to wave ecstasy tablets around in the air listing their ingredients and then slap them down on the bar for their mate to pick up.) However, it's good to watch an Irish film about students and young people that's not overly self conscious and aware of being Oirish. It isn't too ambitious and achieves what it sets out to do, tell a simple coming of age story. It also depicts the city pretty accurately, it doesn't try to make it look like New York and it shows a couple of the undesirables who earn the place its reputation. Whatever you may think of this movie it's got a nice little feel good factor. Supermac's never looked so good nor its lighting so flattering. Hope to see more Irish films exploring the country and showing various aspects of life in 21st century Ireland. Here's to filming more movies in locations other than Belfast, Dublin or Wicklow.
