The Boys And Girl From County Clare,
By L. Hill "3 Legged Cat" (Dorset, Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Boys and A Girl From County Clare [DVD] (DVD)
As a fan of the Corrs I bought this film out of curiosity to view how Andrea Corr would act, but surprisingly I got a good funny movie.
Jimmy (played by Colm Meaney) comes over from swinging (the film is set in the 60's) Liverpool to win the Irish ceilidh band contest, while his brother Johnjoe (played by Bernard Hill) comes from county Clare to reclaim the Ceilidh band title. Anne (Andrea Corr) is Johnjoe's star fiddler, but kept firmly under thumb by her embittered mother Maise (Charlotte Bradley). Trouble ensues, as estranged brother Jimmy attendance rakes up the past, whilst much Irish music is played! Andrea Corr acts with sincerity and charm. Bernard Hill is charismatic as bachelor Johnjoe. Also Shaun Evans should be commended for keep love struck Teddy genuine and grounded. Boys and Girl from County Clare might not be that innovative but it is a delightful film that is entertaining to watch and worth giving ago. It might just surprise you !

this film is quite good, colm meaney isnt as funny as he usually is but the film had good potential, its still watchable and good trad music but the acting ability of andrea corr is so bad it spoils the film, it was so disappointing because if the right girl had been typecast...say bronagh gallagher....the film would have been brilliant. buy it but only if its really cheap, i usually keep my irish films to watch again and again but watched this one last night and its going to the charity shop tomorrow when they open
