Not so great

Rating: 4/10 (13 June 2008)

I thought this was a pretty poorly written screenplay. The words just seemed to be contrived or cliché or predictable. Maybe it was all fouled for me because, while I really like Hilary Swank, I thought she was terrible in this one. Butler, Bates, and Connick delivered their stuff pretty well, such as it was. The Irish scenery was nice and the accents were OK, just the words in the accents, oh my! And the part about the Yankees being on the road but the stadium ball field being lined as if for a game . . . oh, the director is the same guy who wrote it, no wonder. I'll actually check in future movies I wish to view to see if the same guy writes another one. I'll be sure to skip it. Sorry.
