The debut feature of writer/director Karl Golden, this low-budget romantic road movie is a charming piece of Irish whiskey-soaked whimsy that was shot on digital video in just eighteen days. Jonathan Byrne plays the naive, jilted bridegroom who flees the disaster of his wedding day and meets a waitress (Alex Reid) who is also on the run — from a relationship with a married man in which she always takes second place. Holed up in a rural retreat, their relationship begins as a frosty one, beset by the meddling and interference of eccentric neighbours, but begins to thaw even as their original partners come looking for them. The delight of this small-scale piece is in the naturalistic dialogue that plays up both comedy and character, as well as the delicately nuanced performances. Transcending its financial limitations, this is genuinely a little gem.

Slow starter but worth persevering with this Irish road movie tale. Inevitably the story line takes a little believing but the humour is there, and with a feel-good factor!
