Life’s A Breeze (12A) might have Pat Shortt on its poster but Lance Daly’s (Kisses, The Halo Effect) film centres on Fionnula Flanagan’s grouchy pensioner and debutant Kelly Thornton’s sullen teenager, using the Tipperary comedian for occasional comic effect.

British sci-fi geeks Graeme (Pegg) and Clive (Frost) head Stateside to attend a nerds convention and to take a tour of the famous UFO sites such as Roswell … along the way picking up a little, snappy-tongued alien – Paul – who has escaped from a government establishment and, much like ET, is anxious to find his mother ship and return home.
