This movie is perfect for "Irish week" and this year in general becuase it's set mainly in Ireland (groundbreaking, I know!) and 2016 has been bissextile, meaning we had an additional day to the calendar, the 29th of February...
Jeremy leaves the next day for a doctor convention in Dublin
and so Anna decides to follow him and surprise him by proposing herself; great
plan, if it wasn’t for English/Irish weather who forces the airplane to
land in Wales and with no other flights scheduled until the storm calms
down. But Anna is a pretty stubborn lady and finds a way to at least get on
Irish soil…in Dingle, in the South of Ireland. There she immediately meets Declan, unwelcoming owner of a shabby pub and, in one way or anothe maganes to get Declan ride her to Dublin.
As you can imagine, their trip won't be flawless: in fact, they'll have to face luggage's robbery, car malfunctions, cows blocking the way and the good old Irish weather...and a whole bunch of other annoyances. But don't worry, they'll of course manage to get to Dublin...somehow!
This can easly be categorized as chick lit comedy: it has no claims except that make the viewer spend a few hours laughing and enjoying these improbable serie of events and Irish landscapes, which were all added in post production, but they look good anyway!
It's predictable how it could end, but I love re watching it every now and then because A) Matthew Goode (and I've said all!) and B) it makes you wondering how a road trip in Ireland might be.
Ranking: 2½/5
