Stage Irish-ism at its worst!, 28 September 2004
Author: John Jefferies from Ireland

I cringed when I saw this film. Sections of it may have been filmed in Ireland but that's where any Irish connection ends. Fionnuala Flanagan is the only Irish actor of note in the film and she has lived in the USA for the last 34 years. Hardly any other member of the cast or production team is Irish, including those with Irish sounding names.

The stage-Irish accents are appalling and you are unlikely to encounter such an accent anywhere in Ireland. Strange as it may seem Irish people don't speak like the leprechauns of 1930s Hollywood films.

I thought they gave up making this type of gombeen Irish film forty years ago. It seems I was wrong. Go back to Cabot Cove Angela!
