pretty bad
13 May 2001
Warning: Spoilers
(spoilers) This movie is pretty bad. It's about a girl, Janeane Garofalo, who is sent to Ireland to find the roots of a politician just before the elections. Only to find that it was all in vain, for the politician is not irish, but hungarian. So she gets to Ireland, right in the middle of the matchmaking festival, and of course she becomes some sort of high prize, being wanted by every mentally sane man in the small town. And of course a love story is born between her and David O'Hara, and until the end everything comes out expectedly: the politician wins the election, his "right hand", a total creep throughout the whole movie gets what he deserves, and Janeane and David stay together.

The movie is very predictable, full of cliches and pathetic scenes. Not even the characters are well built. Take Marcy (Garofalo) for example. She starts being really nasty and decided in what she does. Then after she gets to Ireland she becomes more sensitive and romantic. Then, after the meeting between David and the politician, she becomes an unstoppable bad girl, jumping like a maniac on her boss's car.

All in all, don't watch it unless you really love love stories. Vote: 4 out of 10.
