  Funny yet perceptive
  
  A very funny film which can be watched repeatedly. Yet another American goes to Ireland to find ancestors and finds true love instead. As good as Leap Year

  The Matchmaker
  
  I loved this film, thought it was really funny. A good chick flick. David O'Hara was lovely and is so good in a comedy role as well as a serious role.
