Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Doug BrodFeatherweight tale of Guinness-guzzling bachelors.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickGoes down as smoothly as a pint of Irish ale.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Peter StackGentle, wacky, down-to-earth and romantic.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasA droll, hearty Irish comedy with a serious undertow all the more effective for its unexpected candor and depth.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Marc CaroLike sitting through a rerun of a show you kind of liked.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertA sweet film, mildly pleasant to watch, but it's not worth the trip or even a detour.
Film.com - 5/10 by Ernest HardyThe audience for this film would be those people who like their cinematic fare pre-digested and painfully familiar.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Michael O'SullivanDerivative dumpling of a romantic comedy about Irish sexuality.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Lisa AlspectorAn open-mindedness in the plotting of this romantic comedy set on Ireland's Donegal coast adds a couple of mild surprises to the story.
Dallas Observer - 5/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonThe latest entry in the "next 'Full Monty'" sweepstakes.
