Read More This is not the most talked about movie...but it was way better then I thought it would be. Makes you appricate your own life and lets you in the world of the disabled..there are a few funny parts but its more of a drama then comedy as it's labled under Category. Definately worth five stars!!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More A formulaic tearjerker; a 21st century My Left Foot without all the uncomfortable rage and other unpleasantness. Also missing: any reason for this film to be set in Ireland--except as an excuse to showcase post-Celtic Tiger Dublin. The lack of Irishness was disappointing, as was the predictable plot. But the acting is competent and the film has a good heart and a timeless message. And Romala Garai...hubba hubba. Worth your time. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
