Irish sporting underdog story Tarrac sculls through the cliches
Competing against the landscape: Kelly Gough as Aoife. Photo / Supplied Tarrac, directed by Declan Recks, is in cinemas now. One might argue there's a place for movies that are so bad they're good, and even enjoyment to be gained from those that are so bad they're risible. But there's nothing so frustrating as a film that is competently made yet

Simon Morris looks at three different films with one thing in common. They all feature "chosen families" - an Irish rowing team in Tarrac, an extended family of sisters, neighbours and a mischievous alien in Lilo and Stitch, and Bob Trevino likes it - where a lonely young woman is let down by her real father and finds a better one online. Lilo and Stitch - the latest in a string of Disney animated films remade in live action. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian 6 year old who wishes for a best friend and gets Stitch an anarchic alien who lives for trouble. Look out for cameo appearances from the stars of the original animated version. Tarrac is an Irish-language feelgood tale of an amateur team of women rowers who enter the semis in County Kerry. Can they beat the 20 year jinx? And will they pronounce the name of the sport? It's Naomhóg rowing, by the way. Bob Trevino likes it, sees Lily Trevino saddled with this year's worst father, Bob. Let down once again, she searches the internet for another, better Bob Trevino - and finds one. Based, astonishingly, on a true event in writer-director Tracie Lymon's life. Stars John Leguizamo (John Wick) and Barbie Ferreira. To embed this content on your own webpage, cut and paste the following: See terms of use.
