Predictable
PostedJanuary 25, 2010

from Kansas City, MO
This movie has been done hundreds of times. The engaged couple that is getting married out of duty or for all the wrong reasons, one of the couple finds "true love" in an unlikely place with someone that is right under their nose and predictably wind up together.
The problem is not the predictability, it's the poor chemistry between the leads and the seemingly baseless romance that develops. The romance just was compelling.
The scenery is beautiful. Some of the exposure to local Irish characters and Irish lore make this not completely unbearable.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Different than Expected

This movie was a lot more somber than I expected going in but nevertheless enjoyable. This is a movie about love, romance, human connections and pleasure and how those ideas change with age. The back story of corporate "hatchet" work turned the mood a little dark but there were plenty of moments of humor. I probably identified with every character or had a friend that fit the character so it made it much more realistic and meaningful. Don't expect the traditional Hollywood ending though.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
