This film excels in so many diverse ways. A charming irish tale, it is a very carefully crafted film, that excels in cinematography, editing , writing, performances, plot line and dialogue, soundtrack and music. It is neither heavy handed nor schmaltzy. I 'll spare you the plot summary since others have done that. What is so amazing is that it is a first for its director, obviously a labor of love. Every scene, every shot has a purpose and often a hidden meaning. It is a film to enjoy time and again, ought to be owned, not rented. Makes me laugh and cry every time I see it.

The story line is of a small village in Ireland; however, filming was actually performed on the Isle of Man (IOM), an Island between Ireland and England in the Irish Sea. The town where most of this movie was filmed is named Cregneash and is an attraction point on the IOM where they show how people lived and worked many years ago.
I would categorize this movie as a Drama; but, there are so many comedic elements that it would be unfair not to mention it. I even felt guilty for laughing toward the end of the movie (the phone booth scene).
There is one scene where you see the behinds of two old men. Butt I found this funny and part of a situational comedy that turned out to be hilarious.
[Spoiler Warning] The only bit of the movie I thought was far-fetched and awkward was in learning who the boy's father was.
Other than that the movie was still 5 stars (in my opinion)!

This is a fun movie. Sometimes the dialogue is a little difficult to understand if you don't have an ear for accents (which I don't) but this really doesn't detract from the fun.

Good writing, acting and music. This was a funny and powerful movie that they seem to have trouble making in the US anymore?

I write this on a night I just watched the DVD again and find myself baffled by the a few of the poor reviews. I must have been watching another movie? This movie had it all...great actors, beautiful Irish countryside, a charming story, and humor too. In a world of simple American TV shows and overdone cop shows this stands out. A quick note on a nay sayer...it was said..well these people are stealing and how about the heir to the $. watch the movie again please! I highly recommend this movie for everyone!!!
