"Waiting for Dublin" tries to be a quirky comedy in the vein of "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" but fails. Andrew Keegan falls flat in the leading role, a WWII Yank pilot downed in neutral Ireland who's desperate (for ridiculously contrived reasons) to get his fifth kill and become an ace. To be fair, though, the script didn't give Keegan much to work with. The one bright spot in this fizzle is relative newcomer Jade Yourell as the love interest. Let's hope this ruptured duck didn't down her career...
