PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

antoniotierno This wasn't a successful movie at all. A love story aimed at an older audience, the kind of movie watchers preferring exposition to explosions. It can be defined a quality World War II drama that deserves to be more just another TV broadcast. The promise is the kind that might seem overly melodramatic if heard in a movie set in contemporary times but it is at home with the wartime realities so effectively rendered in Closing the Ring. Attenborough is a past master at this type of drama and shifts a lot between the decades, avoiding the confusion so common to non-linear films like this. The resemblance between the younger and older actors isn't striking, but their performances make this a minor issue.

SnoopyStyle It's 1991 Branagan, Michigan. Marie (Neve Campbell) is burying his dead father Chuck. Her mother Ethel Ann (Shirley MacLaine) is unmoved by his death and more concerned about Marie and her boyfriend Peter. She is comforted by Jack (Christopher Plummer). In Belfast, Quinlan (Pete Postlethwaite) and Jimmy Reilly are digging up the wreckage of a B-17. Jimmy finds a ring. Back in 1941 Belfast, Northern Ireland, Ethel Ann (Mischa Barton) is friends with Jack (Gregory Smith) and Chuck. Teddy Gordon (Stephen Amell) is building a house for her and she's in love. Jack, Chuck and Teddy are all going up in B-17.The movie moves back and forth too much and too easily between the time periods in the beginning. The three plot lines don't mash together well. The modern day Irish story is stuck out in the middle of nowhere with its own world. Jimmy could have just showed up with the ring without Belfast. Richard Attenborough is going old school with this romance drama. There is something lacking in the 1941 story. The actors are probably not up to the same standard as their older self. Gregory Smith's little mustache is silly. David Alpay and Stephen Amell are lifeless. Mischa Barton tries but she's too frail unlike the ballsy broad that is Shirley MacLaine. It's probably asking too much for the two young actors to try to be MacLaine and Christopher Plummer. Those two elder statesmen exude real acting power. Their section with Neve Campbell is a great little indie.

Armand Love. Choises. A house. And a ring. Pieces of a impressive story about the traces of past. About walls and crashes. About return and long years in gray skin of expectation. Piece of a time who must be lost, the movie is novel of a old and fascinating way to discover the life in the small details and heavy marks.It is a provocation. Or seductive attempt to move stones to see the reality.Shirley MacLane is impressive. And Neve Campbell, like Mischa Burton , has the chance to burst pattern. A love story, a war and slices of truth. Not more that. Ingredients of many movies in the romantic sauce. In this case, the nuances are more important that colors. So, only an unusual story.

rgcustomer I liked this film.The story is easy to follow, and interesting too. I had most of it figured out early on, but that didn't take away from the pleasure of watching it.I have three complaints, but none of them really sink the film. (Sorry, I did like the film, but I'm much better at complaining, so that's what my review will be. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this film was a good feature, but SHOULD have been great). (1) The acting by the younger Canadian/US actors is abysmal. It's like they all thought they were auditioning for Scary Movie 25 and ended up acting in this. Fortunately the script is able to survive it. (2) The effects are also abysmal. After Lord of the Rings happened (half a decade prior) there was no longer any excuse for crappy CG effects. The rule is: if you can't make it real, don't show it at all. Fortunately the story also survives this, because it's not really about that. (3) The central character is totally unlikeable, young or old. And choosing easily-recognizable actors for that role didn't help. This is probably the one that keeps me from rating this higher.Anyway, aside from that, it was an interesting and moving story, with good acting by the older set, and those playing Irish roles. The cinematography (aside from the CG) was also good.
