    With Janeane Garofulo and a whole bunch of excellent Irish actors.

    This is probably a chick flick - funny, quirky, romantic, lots of great scenery.

    The characters are well drawn, although a little 2 dimensional at times. Classic scenes of culture clashes as the american girl arrives in Ireland to trace her boss's ancestry.

    Overall, it was very enjoyable and very funny, altho you americans might find the broader Irish accent hard to understand. Also there is almost no sex or violence, but 3 people do get their legs broken.

    Right on. I saw this awhile back too. I liked it
    a great deal. I love Janeane Garafolo (I often am
    compared to her, thanks to my undying sarcasm) and
    anything to do with Ireland... so it kinda worked
    out. :)
