8/10
Irish Pride
20 November 2003
The movie is filled with sad stereotypes of the Irish. Guinness drinking, unemployed fathers, rock throwing, British hating, head shaving, hand smacking, rain 8 days a week, catholic pride, pissing in the streets, broken shoes, chips with your fish, five in a bed, Pope Leo loving, coal picking, pride, pride, and more pride. What a great movie Angela's Ashes is. A delightful cast that connect with everyone in the audience. The story rotates around Frank, who grows up in the shambles that make up Ireland. Even though it is a story about a child becoming a man in a broken, yet normal family, the movie deals with much much more. It is in fact, one of the best adaptations of Irish heritage. The good and the bad, the film makes you laugh, cry and think.
