bit of a spoiler at the end of this my gawd (to paraphrase our American cousins) Only watched this for a bed what a heap of unadulterated muck, how can anyone say that this is firstly any way entertaining. Listen lads i'm from Ireland, rural Ireland as a matter of fact and how anyone can say this is anyway remotely realistic or bearing any semblance to the truth is beyond me. Darby O'Gill, Finians Rainbow with it's leprechauns and little people is more realistic than this. But first and foremost you can overlook Hollywood 'orishiness' (tom cruises accent still one of the worst ever in home and away, Nicole kidmans accent actually not bad, but not to be nitpicking but as a landlords daughter she would actually have an English accent) if it is well made with a good plot, storyline, script and acting. The pinnacle of this of course is the Quiet Man, which is a great film despite it referring to an Ireland that only existed in John Ford's imagination. So don't be bothering with this rubbish (only one Irish actor in the cast) and get out some good decent Irish films like "inside I'm Dancing" or "Michael Collins" and save yourself wasting two hours of your life. (p.s i don't know how a whole village can be mortgaged)
