 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Snapper is an Irish film based on the book of the same name, and a standalone sequel to The Commitments. When Sharon Curley finds herself pregnant with the titular snapper (Dublin slang for baby), her life and the life of her immediate family is set to change forever.Things get complicated when the father of the baby turns out to be George Burgess, the father of her friend and neighbour (possibly by rape). Of course, she denies this, claiming that the father is an unknown Spanish sailor. However, she ends up a pariah around her hometown over it.The film is a huge Cult Classic in Ireland that has been subject to much Memetic Mutation. Even two decades after its release, it's still oft-quoted.

 Annoying Younger Sibling: Most of Sharon's younger siblings might come off as this, in the movie's opening scene Sharon's brother Sonny and younger sister Lisa argue as Sharon discovers that she's pregnant.

 Adapted Out: In the book, the 13-year-old Lisa has a twin sister named Tracy who twirls a baton in a majorette uniform. Leslie, on the other hand, is replaced with an older brother, Craig.

 Black Comedy Rape: In the flashback where Georgina is conceived, the fact that Sharon is too blond drunk to know who she just got with is played for laughs even though Burgess seems to be sober.

comment
 Adaptation Name Change: In the original novel the matriarch's name was Veronica; in the movie, it's changed to Kay. The father's name is Jimmy Sr. in the novel but it's changed to Dessie. Same with Jimmy Jr., the second-oldest son's name is changed to Sonny. The entire family is given the surname Curley, due to a rights issue over the Rabbitte name.
