  • Summary: A group of bachelors in a shrinking village on Ireland's craggy Donegal coast scheme to entice American beauties to the village. When their plan goes awry, the result is an unexpected round of romances with the least likely of women -- the one's who've been right in front of them all along. (Fox Searchlight Pictures)… Expand

    Goes down as smoothly as a pint of Irish ale.

    An amiable but contrived bit of blarney.

    A sweet film, mildly pleasant to watch, but it's not worth the trip or even a detour.

    Another tale of out-of-it working-class men cooking up a harebrained scheme to improve their lot in life.

    Beautifully filmed with quaint Irish seaside views. 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 them realize that what they wanted was there right in front of them whole time. Fun and charming film with plenty of character.… Expand
