Memorable, crazy movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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!

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..

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.

I loved the movie... At first Jimmy's character is a bit annoying and over the top, but after the movie gets past the beginning and you get to know the characters more, the movie sets somewhere in your chest and you'll never forget it. Also the theme song, "Irish Jam..." will stick in your head like an addictive commercial jingle. Even though you've seen the character types a thousand times in other movies, the characters are very unique. My wife and I are still mentioning scenes and characters a week after seeing this movie. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I enjoyed the movie as much as I did, but I really enjoyed this movie. No, its not going to win any Oscars for acting or direction but the movie does stay with you.
