Two distant cousins who've never met -- one in NYC, the other in the smallest town there is in Ireland -- come together to finally put an end to a generations-long family feud. It doesn't go well. The Problem With People, set in beautifully lush Irish countryside, is a heartwarming comedy about family, world peace... and sheep.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 4, 2024
It's ostensibly a comedy, but I don't think I ever laughed. Go to Full Review
Cath Clarke Guardian Nov 4, 2024
3/5
The script is co-written by the American actor Paul Reiser, with a very broad sense of humour, though it’s likable enough. Colm Meaney is also on decent form as undertaker Ciáran. Go to Full Review
Murtada Elfadl Variety Oct 4, 2024
While the comedic script... favors stereotypes to specificity, director Chris Cottam keeps the rhythm humming nicely enough for its 100-minute running time for the film to be mildly amusing. Go to Full Review
Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Dec 11, 2024
It’s interesting to see an experiment with non-traditional sources of conflict, whether or not it entirely works. Go to Full Review

3/5
A tourist-board tale painted in broad strokes, The Problem with People is sentimental, but likeable all the same. Go to Full Review
Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Nov 18, 2024
3/5
... A harmless bit of oirish frippery that makes good use of two veteran character actors. Go to Full Review
