      Audience Member that was my grammy's name :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great introduction to this comedy franchise. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member More a nice observation of Dublin lifestyle in late 60's but as a film, lacking a great deal in direction and script. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A delightful story for all the family - a beautiful story that warms the heart, makes you laugh and feel for the matriarch that is Agnes Browne. Fans of BBC's hit comedy series Mrs Brown's Boys will find the backdrop to it through this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Films about widows and kids and money lenders and dreams and best friends and happy endings are just the best thing to watch, any day of the week. They give me hope and lift me up and make me a believer again, if just for this moment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Reminds me of my youth in Ireland in the late 60's early 70's. I was only a child but do remember the crack, awful housing and the fight for money. This film captures this really well. Perfect for a girly Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety Set in Dublin in 1967, this extremely old-fashioned melodrama, about the struggle of a young widow to support her large family, is a throwback to the woman's picture of yesteryear and barely a notch above TV-Movie-of-the Week. Rated: 2/5 Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 19, 2002 Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com A movie that, while sweet and sometimes funny, never quite gets underneath the viewer's skin. Rated: 2/4 Oct 21, 2006 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com What can one say about a film whose idea of comedy is having the two women sit around discussing whether or not they've had an 'organism' or not?
