"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I recall watching a British indie gay comedy a few years ago that really needed subtitles for American English speakers. The Irish leads might as well have been speaking Gaelic for all I could tell, and I don't normally have trouble following Irish accents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Northern Ireland Irish?

I"m not very good with accents--cf mine own. So it's perfectly possible Downey was in my sweet spot of ni America ni Britain, but whatever he was, I could hear the words. I think it's two things, neither of which applied to me watching.

I don't know, but I'd hear about one distinct consonant for every couple minutes of talking. It sounded like someone communicating while gargling. Or John Mayer singing.

Just wondering about a British movie with Irish leads. Not that it can't happen, but it seems to open it up for more accent shenanigans.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not all of the leads were Irish, but the main character of The Crying Game was. And I could understand everyone in that movie.

If that sentence makes no sense to you, the contents may be a spoiler, or I may be generating gibberish. Either way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't read the books so I assume the thing that happens is that she and the dress go to a nice tea party where nobody dies horribly at all.
