      Audience Member Loved it! I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies, especially Irish ones, and this one did not disappoint. I'm reading now that it won a few awards in 2010 when it was released across the pond and I'm not surprised. It's based on a true story - I'm amazed it took 25 years for someone to turn it into a movie! :) [On Netflix now.] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member excellent film really enjoyed the character of frogs oh wait thats me :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Refreshing and adorable story of different cultures, communucation and life in a small village in Ireland. Loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review jesse o This is a good, if rather unimpressive, film. It certainly has a lot of heart and an absolutely gorgeous and quaint Irish village. I don't really have much to say about this film, it's got a damn good cast and some funny moments, it's never hilarious but it has some good jokes. Cliched jokes, the language barrier, cultural differences, etc, but some funny jokes nonetheless. It isn't consistently funny either, but I can't complain. The story is well-told and sees Paco connecting with and befriending Ernesto, whose plane crashes in his village, because of his father's absence. Paco also gets the entire village, by making up stuff about Ernesto in order to make him look heroic, to help fix Ernesto's plane in order to get him back home. It's good but, again, not particularly impressive. You've seen this type of story before and you will see it again, and probably done much better than this. I liked the movie, but I never felt like Paco and Ernesto truly made a connection, I find that this film is lacking emotional depth. I still think the film is charming, thanks to its setting, and its quirky characters but it didn't really always click with me. Perfectly solid movie though, just one that should've been better all things considered. A good movie that you'll forget about in a week's time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Lovely story of humanity helping each other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 6/10 and 7/10. this little Irish charmer hits many of the right notes for its modest ambitions.

      Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic The eccentric characters and wacky story line are merely camouflage for a movie with a heart that's pure Hollywood. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2012 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Irish villagers rally to the aid of a stranded Colombian pilot in this quirky comedy. Jul 18, 2012 Full Review Roe McDermott Hot Press It's the feel-good stuff that directors dream of, and Ian Power's directorial debut has a broad, gentle appeal that will please all. Mar 14, 2016 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics Inspired by a true story, this Disneyish sally to the crash site that spawned a miracle lacks the muscle of reality. Rated: 5/10 Jul 26, 2012 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate Adventurous and engaging, particularly for those who love Irish cinema Rated: 8/10 Jul 19, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
