Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

michael m This movie was not even filmed in Ireland but rather Cornwall, England and is offensive to Irish citizens and wasn't worth the producers while to insult the Irish as nobody no matter what race will find these horrible movie funny. I wouldn't be surprised if not any of the movies directors, producers or actors had actually ever been to Ireland. It is about an American who gets evicted then decides to move to Ireland where everyone has no electricity, believes in leprechauns and has red hair! I did not laugh once during this movie and unless you think poor impersonations of Irish insults is funny then avoid this movie at all costs.

siderite You've seen it before and if you have, I certainly have seen too much of it. What will they think up next, I wonder, considering they haven't thought up anything since they were born?Let me summarize it: lovely ethnic community in trouble; evil (or rather obnoxious) guy trying to steal their livelihoods; differently ethnic street punk, accidentally finding himself in the posture of the hero; normal cliché loud smart-mouth, always saying something sounding funny, but which isn't; lovely ethnic girl who is at first repulsed and then attracted by our hero; hero seeming to fail miserably, then succeeding, mostly due to luck.And no, I did not spoil anything, since you've seen it all before. That was my point!

step-15 A beautiful movie in several ways. Anna Friel as Maureen is lovely to watch as her past and background develop. Her daughter, played by Tallulah Pitt-Brown, is charming and nearly steals the show in many of her appearances.But the real star is the village of Ballywood, which exudes old-Irish charm ... as it eases into the 21st century. Ireland of today is not the third world country of last century. As the townspeople accept and embrace Eddie Griffin's character, their personality unfolds.Great music, scenery, and characterizations round out an enjoyable movie.

mars-14 Saw this lurking in a corner of the DVD store and borrowed it on a whim. It was much better than I expected. Eddie Griffin was funny as usual, the beautiful Ann Fridel was great. Quick outline - village pub in Ireland is about to be sold to greedy land developer. To prevent this, the villagers decide to have an international poetry contest and give the pub to the winner. Ghetto hustler Jimmy Tha Jam(Eddie Griffin), on the run from various creditors and ex girlfriends, somehow wins the contest. Much culture-clash humour then ensues, but Jimmy eventually gets the villagers on his side. Much better than I'm making it sound here. Not too many clichés around, which is nice. Not to take anything away from Ediie, but I think if Will Smith had done this movie, it would have been huge!
