    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.

    Dreadful

    The thing about a comedy film is that it is supposed to be funny, which this isn't. Why on Earth did they choose all English actors for Irish parts and film it in England. Why not use Irish actors in Ireland. That aside the lead bloke is trying to be Eddie Murphy in the 80's but the fact is that this is the noughties. Anna Friel worth an ogle but that is about it. Terrible plot also.
