The Boys and Girl From County Clare

If I was solely judging this on the lush Irish scenery and the music, it'd get at least a B, as I'm a sucker for both. But we're talking about a movie here, and as a movie, I found the majority of the story to be very formulaic, with cliches coming out the wazoo. There were some serious groan-worthy moments (sample dialogue: "This is my life, mom! MY LIFE!"--holy cow, really?! In 2005?!). There was also a scene where a girl threw up on her date right before the "big kiss". Bleeeeech, indeed.

- Not much to be said here. If you like everything Irish, you will enjoy the film more than I did, as another review here says. Otherwise it felt poorly written, fell into genre clichés, and held only a few decent laughs. In a month's time I would be surprised if I remember anything from the film. The music was good though.

If you love all things Irish, this is like an injection of Ireland right into your arm. You will get your fix of traditional Irish music, accents, green scenery, the works! I loved it.
