The Honeymooners Reviews

Stick with it

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!

Make it to the end

It felt in someplaces that this was a media studies project with seriously dodgy camera work and characters that should never even have been in the film (cross dressing weirdos!!) The film was actually fun once you forgot these. I like the complete 'non hollywood' characters and minor twists. The ending was predicted way before the end but still fun. Recommended... maybe... try it and see.

Mediocre

Wife liked it but not for me!

FORGET IT

Now my Mrs watches some rubbish, but even she turned this one off after half an hour. Truly awful. Forget it. Life is too short to waste on junk like this. Consider chewing your own foot off instead.

poor

i wouldn't bother with this it was a waste of time

Believe

Nothing like we expected, but an interesting movie, doesnt follow the traditional Chick flick theme. Worth Renting!

A great find

Came across this film by chance, absolutely loved it. Wonderful performances with a warm, feel good ending.... oh and watch out for the farmer, really funny scene.

Charming & quirky

Charming, quirky Irish film which puts most English romcoms that turn up on early morning TV (and usually star James Purefoy) to shame. Interesting characters, story and style with great scenery and soundtrack. If you're tired of slick, colourless films (as above) this should be a pleasant change. Give it a try!

Low-key whimsy

Shot on a budget that would disgrace a shoe-string, here's a commendable attempt to do something different with the rom-com formula. You still know that the boy and the girl are going to end up together at the end - as cutely as possible - but the journey is something different, taking us from middle-class Dublin to the Donegal coast (although it was actually shot in Antrim, since the makers could squeeze a few extra pence out of the Northern Irish film board). It all looks far too cold to be wearing what the poor cast do (let alone going for a dip in the sea), but the tale itself, of a relationship gradually thawing out, is diverting. There's nothing very remarkable here, and the fact that the budget couldn't stretch to a tripod on which to stand the camera is likely to put some audiences off (those disposed to sea-sickness, for instance), but it's amusing enough.

Customer Review

This was a freshly natural yarn with Irish actors I'd never seen or heard of, who made me feel I was a fly on the wall witnessing their experiences. A happy ending to a tortuous few days for the couple, whom I wished well as they walked off hand in hand together at the end. Well worth watching, true to life, and I have a friend to whom the same thing happened and with the same ending!
