StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Franklie We chose to watch this show mainly because of the location and it didn't disappoint. It was beautiful and the townsfolk were hilarious. We had several laugh-out-loud moments. And whoever decorated the bedroom (you'll know what I mean) deserves an award. So spot on.It was also refreshing to have a movie filled with believable people, rather than the clowns most comedies have these days. And the creators were kind enough to keep the language mostly clean, which was GREATLY appreciated. And they were able to be raunchy w/o being too "ew", which is clever and appreciated also. ") These attributes make the movie watchable to a wider range of people.Loved seeing Gordon Pinsent.We wish one selfish dipwad had been given a bit of a comeuppance. That would have been satisfying. Otherwise, good result.We felt like we were watching a mix of Waking Ned Divine and Northern Exposure. Very fun.
mr_lucaspaul The film is well played and there are a lot of funny scenes. But what is annoying is the fact that this fishing village is ready to forget its fishing traditions to get a processing plant near their village just to be able to have jobs. The whole village inhabitants become hypocrites just to persuade the doctor to stay. Everybody must adapt to survive fair enough but it seems that they are ready to do anything to get the deal even pay a bribe to the corporation boss. Going in that direction they could have accepted a gun factory, why not ? So rather than to explore alternative solutions they just beg to be factory workers. This is a loss of dignity.
quitwhileyouareahead I got this movie solely because it had Taylor Kitsch in it. And if not for that anticipation, I would have turned this one off after a half hour. In that half hour, it was slow and predictable and was only watchable for it's beautiful scenery. Once Taylor arrived, it became very entertaining, while still predictable. The pace picked up a touch and all the actors suddenly became more entertaining. I suppose the director was trying to "set the scene" in the beginning and some more artistic viewers may appreciate that but I just found it boring. But the rest of the movie was funny, touching and satisfying so stay patient especially if you like Taylor.
kosmasp As the title suggests the movie might seduce you. It might sort of trick you into liking it. Why trick you? Because you could easily depict the movie and the story it tries to tell you. It would be very easy in fact. But it's not only the actors (Brendan Gleeson heading the group as "leader"), but also the way the story is portrayed.You will know where this is going, so if you don't like predictable movies, you might want to stay away from this. But you'd be missing on a feel good movie, that really has a lot of heart. Taylor Kitsch might have done some movies that weren't successful and you might not think of him much, but he's doing a good job in this. He's convincing and carries the movie with the others through the finish line ... or whatever equivalent there is in the game he likes ...
