Sure, it's a little silly sometimes-who cares? It's a romantic comedy!! I don't expect some kind of "Most Important Film of the Decade" when I watch a romantic comedy.I want these things, in order: A sexy, quirky, and smart hero; an intelligent, attractive female lead whom I can identify with; sarcastic humor; and a believeable will-they-won't-they romance. The fact that this one is set in Ireland is a plus, as are the fun supporting cast, interesting political plot (how many romantic comedies center around campaign workers and the serach for Irish votes?) and the excellent soundtrack (which to my dismay is not available anywhere I've looked!).If you want an intellectual evening, or a movie that will make you think, there are a number of other movies I could recommend. If you just want to see two likeable people fall in love in Europe, get this one, you won't regret it.
