Format:VHS Tape
This film is one of the best I have ever seen. It is clear cut and shows the divide that is and can be caused by love out of your own religion especially in Ireland. The acting is superb and of course Albert Finney is wonderful again, it is a tale of love of hate and of pain set against the backdrop of peaceful, rural Ireland. I appreciate the film greatly because I'm from this background but for anyone that wants to know what happens to the people of Ireland underneath that facade of politics and violence this is a film that will deal it all.....

A Real "Culchie" Film
28 Nov 1999
Two thirds of Ireland's popoulation doesn't live in the towns most Americans have heard of like Galway, Cork, Dublin. This film hit life in small market towns (down the country) square on the head. The scene where the lads are off in the delivery van to the disco the next town over is dead on, all piled into the back and bouncing around on wee roads for miles. The macho posing and abuses hurled back and forth eventually leading to a row sadly couldn't have reminded me more of my numerous nights out with friends in the Midlands. This is the Ireland they don't want you to see in the travel brochures..complete with post dole day, chip shop trash. And the amount of times I've overheard people there speak the words, "Say nothing 'til ya hear more..." says quite a few have viewed the film as well. My suggestion is to try and find a copy of "Father Ted" (Channel 4) or "Podge & Rodge" (RTE) instead. The countryside is beautiful though.

Funny yet serious Irish movie
19 Sep 1999
Worth it just for the character Cocoa. He was hilarious and the actor who played him did an excellent job!

Is about the hardships of trying to make it on your own.
26 Oct 1999
I thought that this was an excellent movie. Set in Ireland, it is about a young man, who after his mom dies, tries to make it on his own. He does not like to listen to his father, because he thinks that he killed his mother. He goes and he lives with a very outgoing friend named Cocoa. When they go to town across the border, he sees a girl that he instantly falls in love with. They meet and do fall in love and eventually she gets pregnant. The two families have two totally different approaches on what to do. The girls family ships her off, and punish the boy for what he has done to their daughter. All in all I thought that this was an excellent movie.
