    A Charming Family Film

    The title really says it all. Roan Inish (Island of the Seals) is more of a family film than a childrens film, but it can be enjoyed by all ages. I found watching it to be a delightful experience; certainly one of the best Irish fairy tales I have seen. Good performances by all and beautiful Irish scenery make this movie worth a look. I can't imagine why it is rated PG (USA-MPAA rating)though, it really is suitable for all ages. 102 minutes of pure enjoyment!

    Charming & has stayed with me
