    Filmed in Cornwall

    This 'Irish' film was filmed in Cornwall with mainly English actors with varying 'Oirish' accents, as well as in LA. The story of an African-American in Ireland has been dealt with in 'The Nephew', a real Irish film. This is largely played as farce but it's not very funny and is overly sentimental especially at the end. Kevin McNally has great fun as the pantomime 'English' villain. It's hard to see who this is aimed at as it is a mixture of two genres. Perhaps people who don't know where Ireland is. Americans then.

    Customer Review

    I got this DVD for the forthcoming St. Patrick's Day, to celebrate with friends. I've previewed it and I like it! It's not as contrived as it sounds and there are some familiar faces, not least Anna Friel who is the star of the show. I suspect the ladies will like this for than the fellas, but that is not a fault. A great, light-hearted romp which should not be taken too seriously. Only fault is the great variation in sound volume between the American and Irish scenes on this DVD. Order it now and get it for the Big Day!
