This movie was not even filmed in Ireland but rather Cornwall, England and is offensive to Irish citizens and wasn't worth the producers while to insult the Irish as nobody no matter what race will find these horrible movie funny. I wouldn't be surprised if not any of the movies directors, producers or actors had actually ever been to Ireland. It is about an American who gets evicted then decides to move to Ireland where everyone has no electricity, believes in leprechauns and has red hair! I did not laugh once during this movie and unless you think poor impersonations of Irish insults is funny then avoid this movie at all costs.

This film had a typical and simple plot carried off in a pleasant non-overwhelming fashion. It was fun to watch, went through the usual ups and downs, and ended ... (can't say). If you like a movie that you can watch more than once, this is it. Basically, it is a story that addresses cultural stereotyping at it's core, but the simple love story and fun activities tend to overshadow the seriousness of that problem. There are certainly no surprises in the movie, which makes it good for a relaxing evening with spouse and family. Eddie Griffin does a good job of acting, as does Anna and the rest of the cast. The film also ends with a rather fun video that will make you smile and a few bloopers.

You've seen it before and if you have, I certainly have seen too much of it. What will they think up next, I wonder, considering they haven't thought up anything since they were born?Let me summarize it: lovely ethnic community in trouble; evil (or rather obnoxious) guy trying to steal their livelihoods; differently ethnic street punk, accidentally finding himself in the posture of the hero; normal cliché loud smart-mouth, always saying something sounding funny, but which isn't; lovely ethnic girl who is at first repulsed and then attracted by our hero; hero seeming to fail miserably, then succeeding, mostly due to luck.And no, I did not spoil anything, since you've seen it all before. That was my point!

This movie totally was an unexpected Miracle. This movie was wonderful. Beautiful and simply one of the best romantic movies I have ever seen. The director, writers, actors were simply excellent.The fact that this was a modern day movie and not something set way back when was also nice. Braking racial barriers and bringing reality to the screen with humor was excellent. The witting was such that it Made me feel as if I was in the movie with them.My brother told me about Irish Jam, I'm 100% glad that I finally watched it. Me and my wife watched it, and I both agree that its got it all. Suspense, villain, Heroes, Comedy, Tear Jerker and a great original Story line. 10 Stars movie. Good music, good Comedy, all around fun.JEM
