Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The film cost less than £2 million to make and was shot in Ireland in under 6 weeks. Then first time director Peter Chelsom and co-writer/ star Adrian Dunbar took it to the Cannes Film Festival in search of a buyer. There, Harvey Weinstein snapped up the American distribution rights for Miramax, thus ensuring the film of a high degree of visibility. This duly paid off with its success at the American and UK box office, and a Golden Globe nomination for Ned Beatty. more

Micky O'Neill: Think of the publicity your comeback would have. And the women, the women! There won't be a dry seat in the house. more

A wonderful little gem, 3 July 2002
9/10
Author: Jason Berkley (jdberkley@hotmail.com) from Chicago, Illinois

This movie never got the attention or box office it deserved, but it's one of my all-time favorites. Ned Beatty is wonderful as Joe Locke, the exiled Irish singer returned to the stage by impresario Adrian Dunbar. A little movie with heart, wit, and charm, definitely worth repeat viewings.
