The scenery is fantastically beautiful with aerial shots galore and all that green Irish-isle scenery. The End.
What ? TEN lines ? argh.
OK. We need to understand that I have nothing against rom-coms.. good ones that develop the characters and make the viewer care what happens to them. This one does not do that.
We are presented with a not very likable "heroine" and she meets many many Irish village "types" who we really don't get to know all that well. It's not made clear just why the two leads are attracted to each other. There are so many quirky local 'types" and no reason given why any of them like our lady so quickly. She isn't all that likable, really.
The American politician and his handler are just too close to reality to be funny at this point in time.
The actors do as much as they can but for me the story line was not enough. Milo O'Shea, as usual, was terrific, btw.
Did I mention the wonderful scenery ? Watch "The Quiet Man" instead !
