Something of a buried treasure in Mike Myers' career, this gritty 1998 drama is set on the bleak streets of Dublin, where three orphaned kids are being raised by their indomitable grandmother (Brenda Fricker at her formidable best). Myers sports a credible Irish accent as an ex-junkie and drug dealer who feels beholden to the family whose lives are transformed when a meteor crashes into their backyard. Alfred Molina also stars as a scientist who lays claim to the spectacular find. Ultimately, this is an optional purchase, but Myers' fans may appreciate seeing a different side to the chameleon-esque comic actor. (K. Lee Benson)
