Just watched 'The Boys and Girl From County Clare' and wow, what a delightful little film! It's like a warm hug from Ireland itself.
The music? Absolutely magical. If you're into Irish folk, this movie will have you tapping your feet and wishing you could join the ceili band. Though I'm still salty about not finding the soundtrack on iTunes!
Andrea Corr might not be Meryl Streep, but there's something charming about her performance. Sure, some scenes are cheesy as hell, but that's part of the fun. It's like comfort food in movie form.
Pro tip: Skip the weird vomit scenes if you're watching with kids (or if you're eating dinner). No idea why they thought that was necessary in an otherwise wholesome film.
The scenery is gorgeous - makes me want to book a flight to Ireland immediately. And that sibling rivalry between the brothers? Hilarious and oddly touching.
Not gonna win any Oscars, but it's perfect when you need something lighthearted with great music and lots of heart. 4/5 stars from this Irish culture enthusiast!
