Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
maddentl This is a cute movie...it's not meant to be an Oscar-winning masterpiece, it is what it is...and it's cute.The village may be depicted as a bit of an "European Cliché," but it makes the movie all the more charming.If Irish people really are insulted by it...I honestly don't know why. Why would anyone be insulted as being portrayed as a hard-working, religious, honest people?I am from the mountains of North Carolina, and often my people are portrayed as "hillbillies." Does that offend me? NO, because some of them are...and even if I don't consider myself a "hillbilly," I am PROUD of where I come from...and proud of my ancestry - ALL of it...the "hillbillies," the "rednecks," and the "educated, Southern don't-want-to-be-associated-with-North Carolina's-past" people...all of them...so, why aren't the Irish proud of this...even if it relies somewhat on cliché'??
marineel07 This film was absolutely brutal. i cant believe they even brought out a film like that about Ireland. i thought Jesus it must of been based on years ago,but it was not. Ireland isn't even like that now, having them all in the film going round wearing crappy old fashioned clothes. they made us look like scruffy old people. And we don't talk like that either.. the film hardly made any sense. i thought it would have been funny too with Eddie griffin in it. To be honest it was pure stupid. it made Irish look like pure fools.it has to be one of the worst films i have ever seen. i wouldn't bother wasting my time watching it if i was you..
kristoffe brodeur I think this film was very funny, and they were stuck doing some stereotypical moments in the film, but overall I was really interested in their editing. Quick edits, sometimes 4-5 segments right on top of each other within 2-3 seconds. I love that. The editing style reminded me a lot of 'crank' which you may love or hate, but the piece was fun.The emotional reactions of half the actors really felt very realistic, and the parts that didn't were incredibly scripted. It was interesting to see the age groups approve more of this film the younger they were, must be not quite set in their ways. Funny how the film is about that even.The soundtrack was pretty well scored too, and it felt like it just fit. Its good to see the acting talent actually sing instead of be voiced over constantly. The voice acting was very clean and some digital effects had to be introduced, because they sounded extremely clean. If this is all too technical, Ill let you back to the other postings.Also, I think the outtakes are pretty funny. Really funny to say the least.
margaretblaise Fun entertaining movie that brings together hip-hop and Irish folk music. How many movies do that effectively, or at all? I have to admit I love almost all Irish-themed movies and this is no exception. Eddie Griffin is wonderful. His best role yet. Funny and warm and romantic. Who knew? The music in this movie is fun. The plot may not win any awards, but the acting and the characters in the small Irish town are cozy and feel like family. Eddie's love interest and her daughter have great chemistry with Eddie's character. His character really grows during the film, at first very distant and the typical con-artist then turns into a sensitive sweet guy, his facade being broken down each day he spends in this beautiful little village.
