Beautifully filmed with quaint Irish seaside views. SPOILERS: A delightful film in which the fish are out of water in their own pond. The men in a small Irish village cannot see their own perfect mates right before their eyes. It takes both the promise and threat of exotic newcomers coming to the village to make the men realize that what they wanted was right there in front of them whole time. A pleasant mix of character archetypes coupled with familiar independent UK tropes blend into a witty cocktail that will have you smiling throughout the film. A fun and charming film with plenty of character that will satisfy your yearning for quirky and wonderful couples themes. This is a great date movie.

The eternal story of the misunderstandings between men and women. A priest in a small Irish town tries to attract a larger audience by showing movies and accidentally shows one depicting what all men think is the perfect woman (Bo Derrick in 10) instead of the Ten Commandments. The sight of Bo awakens the urges in the local men who think that they are being deprived of the kind of women they think they want. They conspire to advertise for American women (between the ages of 20 and 21) with the "credentials" of Bo and there is an hilarious vigilance at the bus stop to wait for the American women to arrive. These shenanigans immediately raises the ire of the local girls who invent their own way to get stimulation by inviting some passing Spanish sailors to a dance. Needless to say they don't last long. Perfect example of "I can but you can't". As the boys continue to wait at the bus stop each day they begin to realise that their local women are becoming more attractive. All men should see this movie if they have a need to understand what they are doing wrong when women give them the cold shoulder. More often than not it's of their own making and communication can break down because the woman might not be able to express herself adequately as in this wonderful, funny, heartwarming movie.

I loved this movie. I've seen all the little English and Irish movies mentioned in previous user comments, and liked them all. Yeah, movies like this stereotype Irish people, but in a sweet way. What's wrong with spending an hour and a half with stereotypes that you like? (and don't get me wrong - I like to see Americans stereotyped in sweet movies too). It was a very pleasant 90 minutes in my life. I liked all the characters but especially Kieran, who was good-looking (especially before his first appointment with Giovanni) and lovable in his oafishness.And I'm not some kind of "idjit" - I'm a smart and cosmopolitan American who likes to kick back with some of "the old country," to get away from the hectic modern life. I don't see these people's lives as being bleak. After living all my life in shallow, depersonalized, over-commercialized, over-technologized suburban McCalifornia, I'd like to move somewhere like that. Nowhere I've lived would the postmistress care enough to withhold mail she thought wouldn't be good for you. I've never experienced an entire group of people not related to me knowing my private business. Yeah, I'm sure it would be intrusive and obnoxious, but what a nice change. It's all a matter of perspective.(Edit in 2016): I needed to relax one night and watched this movie again. Still very charming, although it definitely was weird watching Professor Qu-Qu-Quirrell being cute!

We saw the cast/crew preview in Dublin for this film. We were pleasantly surprised at the standard of this film. It was a well condensed story of a village on the west coast of Ireland.(taking into account a lot was tongue in cheek). An amusing and well acted film. Credit for which must go to the director and the full cast and crew. I must give a special mention to the unknown child actors Deborah Barnett, and Michael McDougall (this child was the only cast member who was actually from the Rosses area of Donegal where the film was located.) The film itself showed the beautiful scenery in the area, it was light hearted with a touch of romance and jealousy.We would highly recommend an early viewing.
