Average and cliché but enjoyable

Warning: Spoilers
The movie is average, dreamy, slightly over-sweetened and cliché. Of course watching it in 2017 would make it seem like it's the oldest idea in the history of cinema : two different people colliding somehow and their different worlds mix together and lead to a sort of a balanced amalgam; (who's never seen such kind of movies??) but It's certainly enjoyable to some extent. I have to say that I found their Irish accent convincing and really sexy. I even think the film would lose so much sparkle if that accent was replaced by some ordinary American-English talk ( no offense to anyone ). Spoiler:The most precious scene in the movie which is also the most shocking, when all three men were in the car smoking a joint and driving recklessly when they suddenly hit two innocent people. They get out of the car to figure out what happened and the injured woman starts screaming her lungs out. It's truly an intense scene and it gets more shocking as the two dealers hit her husband, run away and oblige Shane to go with them. The extreme confusion and fear he faced at that very moment felt symbolic, they actually stand for the general confusion the character was facing while trying to "find his voice". It's a scene that even kept hunting him somewhere further in the movie. Generally speaking, it's not a movie you'd regret watching by the end. It's entertaining and quite funny but also kinda emotional and dramatic especially in the last scenes. I hope you guys enjoy watching it anyway !
