Pete's Meteor is an Irish 1998 drama film. It was written and directed by Joe O'Byrne and stars Mike Myers.

Mike Myers plays a drug dealer living in the slums of Dublin. He tries to financially provide for the three children of his dead brother. The children's lives are forever changed when a meteor crashes into their backyard. Alfred Molina plays a wealthy scientist that the children must confront to retrieve their heaven-sent gift.

Production and Release

The Irish Film Board gave the filmmakers almost IR£300,000 for the production.[1]

It won the Crystal Bear Special Mention award for Best Feature Film at the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival. Despite this, the film failed to find a distributor, and was released direct-to-video in the United States in December 2002.

In a 2002 profile of Myers in The Independent, the film was said to have "proved meteoric in the way it vanished from view".[2]

Reception

Christopher Null of Contactmusic.com awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, “The story doesn't help matters, and sheer insanity is not much of a substitute for actual character development.”[3]

Nathan Rabin of The Dissolve gave the film a negative review and wrote, “It doesn’t help that the child actors deliver performances so terrible, they may actually persuade audiences to root against a trio of hard-luck orphans.” Rabin also added, “I recommend Pete’s Meteor to bad-movie aficionados.”[4]
