What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
Another high-concept Irish Spring comedy.
Clichéd and condescending.
Oddly anemic and muted -- BBC Saturday-night material.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A droll, hearty Irish comedy with a serious undertow all the more effective for its unexpected candor and depth.
Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
An open-mindedness in the plotting of this romantic comedy set on Ireland's Donegal coast adds a couple of mild surprises to the story.
Dallas Observer by Luke Y. Thompson
The latest entry in the "next 'Full Monty'" sweepstakes.
By no means a bad film, but rather a way too over-eager one.
San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Stack
Gentle, wacky, down-to-earth and romantic.
USA Today by Staff [Not Credited]
It is tough to fight off the ennui created by this comedy.
