Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVariety reported in July 2023 that Samantha Morton appeared on an episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast and accused producer Harvey Weinstein of trying to destroy her career because she turned down his offer to star in this. She said she read the script, felt it was really misogynistic and didn't want to be part of it. The casting director warned her "You don't say no to Harvey" and "You're not going to work again unless you do this role." Morton refused, which she said led to her being blackballed in future Weinstein-produced projects such as The Brothers Grimm. According to Morton, Weinstein said he didn't want her for that role because she was "unfuckable." Following Morton's podcast appearance, Weinstein reached out to Variety from behind bars, where he was serving a 23-year sentence for rape, to issue a statement claiming that she is using his name to "advance" her own "agenda." He pointed out that her career wasn't damaged and she went on to star in several prominent projects. He just didn't hire her for Brothers Grimm because they found an actress who was a better fit for the role

Set far from the traditional Irish mise-en-scene in Dublin's trendy Temple Bar area, it features Stuart Townsend as a benign Irish cousin to Jack Nicholson in _The Witches of Eastwick_, who plays on the desires of three beautiful sisters for his own ends. Far from being a scheming Casanova, he's a likeable character who does nothing more than tell a few tall tales to aid his seductive techniques, and who helps people come to terms with themselves rather than cosign them to a life of guilt by doing so.
This film is like Stembridges earlier film, Guiltrip, turned inside out. It's bright, urban-based, modern, and shows signs that Ireland is finally developing a mature attitude to Sexuality.
