Certainly not the best Irish movie, but a lot of fun. Actually, those rolling greens & beautiful vistas? Isle of Man, England. Oh, well…
What’s more:
I remember seeing this in the theater. If memory serves, indie movies weren’t exactly box office successes at that time, but there was an awful lot of buzz about this fun little comedy.
I really don’t have a ton to say about it, actually. It’s funny and sweet and presents a completely fresh set of faces and characters. It introduces most of us to great actors like David Kelly and James Nesbitt, and it’s generally a real feel-good film. Nothing wrong with that…
