The Snapper is a 1993 film, based on the novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle, about the Rabbitte family and their domestic adventures.

In the film, the surname of the Rabbitte family had to be changed to Curley as 20th Century Fox owns the rights to the Rabbitte name from The Commitments (1991), which featured the same characters.

Set in Ireland, Sharon Curley is a 20 year old living with her parents and many brothers and sisters. When she gets herself pregnant and refuses to name the father, she becomes the talk of the town. Written by Rob Hartill
