I bought this film based on Amazon's recommendation when I was ordering something else. I like Irish settings, so I said why not. I never heard of this movie and did not have very high expectations. Therefore, I was absolutely delighted that right from the start, the viewer's attention was engaged. There was something happening all the time, the plot just FLOWED. I do know that much of what made the movie so delightful was factually impossible. One cannot travel from Wales to Dingle by boat in a matter of a few hours; the scenery, particularly the cliffs and the mountains, are not to be found along the road from Dingle to Dublin, the castle does not exist at all, it was basically created on a computer, and it's most unlikely that anyone would plan an outdoor wedding in Ireland in February, and that people attending such an affair would be dressed in summer clothes, as shown in the film. But these inconsistencies just make the movie magical, like a fairy tale where everything is possible. I enjoyed every minute of it and continue on enjoying it as I watch it over and over again FREQUENTLY. This is a treat for lovers of romantic comedies, who are willing to overlook some problems with the logistics in order to savor all the elements that make a true romance work. If this is your cup of tea, it is a delight, you won't be disappointed! The one negative is that the deleted scenes have to be watched separately on the DVD. I have no idea why they were excluded, they were good scenes and leaving them in would have made the film even better.
