I haven't been on Mudcat for awhile so I don't know if anyone has started a thread on the movie. Forgive if I missed it. Anyway, I really enjoyed the film. Not a great story, but some very good Irish music. It stars Colm Meaney, Bernard Hill, and Adrea Corr. I don't believe I have ever seen a film with Colm Meaney that I didn't enjoy. DougR |

I've started some unresponsive threads in my time, but none that drew as few responses as this one. Whassamatta, not policical enough for you folks? :>) On the other hand I may be the only Mudcat who has seen the movie I guess. DougR |

I agree, Colm Meaney is always worth watching, and Andrea Corr (from the Irish pop group) is eye candy. Cheers, Michael |

The main plot is mediocre at best, acting/directing fairly good if largely understated (perhaps appropriately). Andrea Corr on fiddle (not whistle or vocals as on stage with the family) is believable if not spectacular. |

I used to play in an Irish band in Manchester back in the 1960's and Colm Meany was f**kin magic in the movie (as he always is!) Slainte |

Very enjoyable, with some laugh-out-loud moments. What bothers me is that Andrea Corr doesn't move her fingers when pretending to play the fiddle! Sure she's a whistle player, but couldn't she have gotten some coaching from her sister? |
