LET'S GET FREAKY IN IRELAND!, 28 December 2003
Author: Randall Phillip (monstermonkeyhead@yahoo.com) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The plot jumps around a bit so you really don't understand the connections between various characters, and the movie is quite illogical at times. However, there are enough freaky moments to make this worth viewing. "What the Hell?!" popped into my mind many times- in a pleasurable way. The dialogue is great as well. If you want an interesting experience, bear with this VERY odd one.
