When Brendan Met Trudy is a 2000 Irish film directed by Kieron J. Walsh and starring Peter McDonald and Flora Montgomery.

The screenplay concerns a Dublin schoolteacher who falls in love with a mysterious young woman who turns out to be a thief.

One night, after practicing with his church choir, he meets Trudy (Flora Montgomery), a bright, witty and free-spirited woman whom he believes is a Montessori teacher.

Peter McDonald, was cast as the lead following up on his impressive film debut as Brendan Gleeson's sidekick, Git, in I Went Down.

He concludes "Under Kieron J Walsh's direction this is a sprightly 'odd couple' yarn brimming with sweet Irish charm.

[10] Emanuel Levy of Variety magazine called it an "intermittently funny movie anchored by strong performances" but he says the "writing and direction are uneven".
