Matthew McConaughey First off, I thought this movie was about the plight of the Irish people during the potato famine. A Mister Peabody and Sherman, if you would. Needless to say, it fell short of my reasonable expectations, no pun intended. Timothy Omundson would have made a far better narrator than his performance of this shameful villain. Moving on to the clearest plot hole in this work of sh-art, is how a full grown man is allowed to play on the opposing high school basketball team. Basketball has some pretty low standards for play (flops, obviously) but come on. No offense to Henry Gibson (RIP). Luck of the Irish, more like Freak me in the eyeballs.

Mack2611 I'm Irish. REALLY Irish, as in, I was born here and live here. And I really didn't like this film. Ryan Merriman is not a bad actor (he did better in some of the other stuff I've seen him in), but sadly, he is the only person I can say that about in this film. The rest are not very good at all (massive understatement!)Then there were the accents. I couldn't bear to listen to them. There are many US actors - Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelica Huston, Shawn Hatosy and even Tom and Nicole - who have been able to make a decent - if not perfect - attempt at an Irish accent. I cringed listening to some of the "actors" in this film trying to pull one off. I would advise them to get the genuine articles in to do it properly, but I honestly doubt there was a single Irish-born person involved in this tragic bit of film-making. If there were, they have just disgraced their heritage. There are many inadequacies in this film regarding the true Irish culture, but this was the main one - accents! Woeful!However, the Irish music and dance, for the most part, was pleasant enough. As a traditional Irish musician, I was surprised and pleased to hear some tunes I learned when I was younger. Sadly, the occasional reel or jig was not enough to save this. Some research into the field would not have gone to waste.You really shouldn't watch it. It's awful, it really is.

wickedfeck This movie was horrible. The story line is pure cheese. I feel embarrassed for the actors. How does anyone let movies like this get made? Read the plot summary-- that should be the reason to not watch this movie. It's full of stereotypes. Then again, what do you expect? It's Disney...

skiichik06 *****This was a really good movie! It was fun to see some of the Irish traditions and Irish things that they do. Although, it didn't hurt that Ryan Merriman was in it. (No explanation needed)~Lauren****
