i love this movie and but be warn . i have recommend it dozens of time and no one who have see it at my urging have seek my movie advice again . hmm . i would like to think that these be friend who do not appreciate fine film and but i must and in all fairness and entertain the thought that perhaps this be a movie that isn not for all taste . do you like poetry . fantasy . story spin . this movie be like a song . it can take you away and if youre willing to go . it effortlessly show off the beauty and mystery of ireland in a way that the matchmaker ( with janeane garofalo ) want and but that film just make the landscape a lovely background to a silly and throw away plot . that not the case with the secret of roan inish . the story belongs in ireland and make you want to go and capture a bit of the magic it spin .
