Meh

I tried watching this and got through some of it, but it was so cloying and shallow that I had to stop watching it before wanting to throw things at the TV. I gave it 5 stars because the dialogue, pacing and filmography are adequate, but I never could really care for any of the characters. The peripheral characters that pop up once the couple arrives in Ireland seem so shallow, and their implied backstories have no emotional impact on the viewer. The premise of disagreeing on having children is a big yawn. Have them or don't--whatever. I tuned in because I hadn't been to Ireland, but frankly I could go to YouTube and find videos there if I want because the scenery is surely more interesting than the characters in the show.

Ridiculous and lazy

Is this the worst movie ever made? Well there's been a lot of bad Christmas films made and many of them are shown on afternoon TV, so I'd have to say it's not quite as bad as those but boy it is bad! It's another of those movies where an innocent American experiences the kind of Ireland that doesn't exist in reality and never did. Full of lame Oirish stereotypes and a ridiculous predictable plot it's just a total waste of time. In fact I felt embarrassed for the cast, it's that bad. The trashing of Fairytale of New York, probably the best Christmas song ever written, is just unforgivable. The storyline, if you could call it that, is totally predictable which I wouldn't mind if it had a shred of humour or reality but unfortunately it has neither. Give it a wide berth. Nothing to see here.

American

Fun and light-hearted, but definitely what an American would think Ireland was like. After a while it became more amusing and less annoying to see Irish culture butchered again and again, but it was still so American it was slightly painful.The humour was similarly American, which isn't a bad thing- it's just an acquired taste. Some parts were funny, others cringy. But overall it was a bit of fun.The characters were not particularly likeable or believable, but this is not the sort of film for character development. However, they were not too irritating (most of the time) so it wasn't too bad.The plot was wishy washy and predictable, as you would expect and it had an undertone of 'American saviour complex' to it, but it was light-hearted and fluffy.Not a must see, but a way to kill time.
