A grand little tale.

A decent movie that has all the charm of a soft Irish day. The young lad steals the show, although he was ably supported by two future Oscar nominee's. Kerry is brilliant, no surprise there, and a decade or so on from the making of this movie she would appear opposite Colin Farrell in Banshees, and for my tuppence worth, she should have walked away with the Oscar. Having lived through the events that the movie is based on, the truth is stretched to some degree, but nothing that distracts from the story that unfolds. Jenny the donkey was probably still in acting school when the movie was made, which would explain her absence. All in all, not bad.

Fabulously Weird

As improbable, unlikely, ridiculous and strange as the basic premise of this movie is, the film nonetheless very much succeeds. In modern times, a plane crash in rural Ireland discovered only by a wee lad leads an entire town into a fit of what can only be described as insanity. But with unemployment high and skilled men and women with time on their hands, who knows what might happen when a handsome stranger lands in town. It is quirky,funny and uplifting with well drawn characters and an excellent cast. As an Indie author myself, with aspirations of my book some day made into film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Watch and enjoy. OK for all ages in my estimation.
