Kelsey M This is one of my favorite movies, I've watched it so many times. Garafalo has great comedic timing, and I loved seeing non-traditional actors (aka not prefect looking) in a romcom. The other characters are just as entertaining, and I enjoy the Irish humor and culture sprinkled in. Is it the most intelligent movie? No. Is it enjoyable to watch thanks to the humor and great set of characters who feel real? Yes, very much so. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Tess H Loved this! Love David O'Hara! He's smart funny and adorable. As my Grandmother used to say "he can put his slippers under my bed any day!" 😝 Fun and smart. I had no problem with the whole movie! Well done.

She plays Marcy Tizard, who has been sent to Ireland by her boss Nick (Denis Leary) to find a relative that can help the Irish-American vote for Boston Senator John McGlory (Jay O. Sanders). Arriving in Ballinagra in time for the annual matchmaking festival, she's suddenly the object of competition between two rival professional matchmakers, Dermot (Milo O'Shea) and Millie (Rosaleen Linehan) and gains the attention of bartender Sean (David O'Hara). Romantic third act hijinks ensue, as they always do, but things work out. This was directed by Australian director Mark Joffe, who made sure it was authentic by working with Father Ted writer Graham Linehan, who wrote the script with Karen Janszen and Louis Nowra. When asked, Garofolo said this was one of the few movies that she was in that she liked. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
