Critical reception

The Hardy Bucks Movie was well received by most critics. Joe.ie observed "While the TV series was certainly funny, there was a certain air of censorship that comes with having a show with the national broadcaster. Thankfully, the movie has edges far sharper than its TV incarnation."[3]

gollark: Also, following on from what I said:> Saying you can never be convinced of something is kind of bad in my opinion.That sort of thing just completely neglects the possibility that there might be more information, or something you haven't considered, and it's pretty arrogant to assume that you are entirely right and there's nothing which could reasonably cause you to update.
gollark: More as in a higher % of income, that is.
gollark: In a progressive tax system the rich *are* taxed more. That is literally what "progressive tax system" means.
gollark: Saying you can never be convinced of something is kind of bad in my opinion.
gollark: Because I'm very indecisive and it probably depends since healthcare encompasses a lot of stuff.
