"The magic of the witty films" by Alejandra Vargas

If you just want to have a good time, you probably would like to see
Speed 3, one of the episodes of the Father Ted, an Irish popular
television programme.

The show depicts the lives of three Irish Catholic priests on the
remote fictional ‘Craggy Island’, I mean, somewhere on the west coast
of Ireland. Their names are Ted, Dougal and I really don’t remember
the name of the retired and wasted one… ¿Is he Jack?, I don’t Know.
Ah!, and there is also the housekeeper, Mss Doyle, an eccentric and
ugly old woman with a terrible make up.

Speed 3 is actually a short and witty TV show that parodies the film
‘Speed’, This was a movie in the 90’s with the spectacular performing
of Keanu Reeves and the graceful Sandra Bullock. In that one, there is
a bus that had to speed around the L.A. suburbs, keeping its speed
over 50 miles per hour, and if its speed dropped, the vehicle would
explode!

Instead of the handsome guys, the scholar bus and the humanity of the
actions, in this Irish parody we had about three parish priests, some
old naked ladies and a milkman –named Pat Mustrad- that ‘delivers more
than milk products around the cities’. Did you see the coincidence?
No? It’s a comedy: that’s exactly the point.

To figure out what was happening with the milky man the ‘men of God’
made a plan and discover a surprising truth.

After that, another surprise came out and they finally realised that
their faith can’t help them. Use a brick or make a Mess seem like the
only solutions of a huge problem for them. At this point all the
priests become so ridiculous and naive to me, but not wooden. It is
funny and ironic too.

You have to guess the rest of the story, it’s really entertaining: not
spectacular or stunning, but neither tedious or dull. Music isn’t that
gorgeous.

I just want to add that you won’t be in the edge of the seat, but you
will laugh at lot if you keep reading the subtitles. Be aware that,
sometimes, it is difficult to understand the Irish accent. Maybe is
better to see this film with popcorns at home.
