 I have it on VHS, and I can't believe it's not on DVD January 31, 2009

I loved "The Snapper" and "The Commitments," and for the life of me, I don't understand why this has not been released on DVD here in the US. For my money, it's the best of the Barrytown Trilogy films.
If you can download and watch this film, by all means, do so! The dialog alone between the characters as they watch Team Ireland play in a World Cup match is by itself worth the price of admission.
Colm Meany rules, wha?
Where is the DVD? Try Cable April 4, 2005

I just watched this for the first time in a few years and laughed aloud once again. As a pure comedy and portrait of Irish life just prior to the Celtic Tiger '90's, this film is unbeatable. A great "fillum". Something interesting:
I was in the mood to see The Van and The Snapper again (having just rented The Commitments at my local Blockbuster) and was lamenting the fact that they are so hard to find. My local rare-release rental shop, Movie Madness, is the only place I was sure of finding them. However, having just got the Tivo-style DVR from Comcast Cable I decided to do a search for The Snapper and The Van without much hope of success. I was amazed to find both films immediately on HBO channels and was saved a trip to the video store.
Must see movie, needs to be released on DVD September 11, 2004

This is an amazing movie, the third movie in the film version of the Barrytown Trilogy (The Commitments and The Snapper). Colm Meaney shines as usual. The only bad thing about this movie is that it has not been released on DVD yet. Hopefully it will be released on DVD soon!
Very funny comedy... August 11, 2004

I enjoyed this movie very much, it had me laughing. Colm Meaney is excellent in this movie, and delivers some of the best lines which made me shoot soda out of my nose. It is a movie I would love to add to my DVD collection, so I hope the release it soon.
 Don't compare books and movies. June 3, 2004

This has got to be released on DVD. No question.It's part of a trilogy, it'll complete many Roddy Doyle fans collections and it is damn good! Some people have criticised the movie for not being as funny as the book -well duh! Books are almost always better, because you use your own imagination! Did Trainspotting live up to the book, not in my opinion -but millions still loved the movie. Forget those comments about not bothering with this movie, it carries on where The Snapper left off 3 years previously. If you liked The Snapper, do yourself a favour and get this movie when it goes to DVD.
