alternately interesting and painful
6 February 1999
A somewhat interesting tale of an adult child who lives with his adopted family and falls for young woman whose widowed mother objects. The reasons they shouldn't be a couple is never really made clear or addressed, but the whole town seems to believe it, so therefore we must.

The acting is fine, and the story not completely uninteresting. What bogs it down it the loathsome present day story from which this story results. An aging man and his rebellious nephew travel to their Irish homeland and bribe an old witchy woman to tell them the tale of their relatives.

It's downright corny as we watch the childish parallels of the nephew falling for a local street trollop and the uncle worry about the curse (to which there is zero payoff).
