Stereotypical and Not funny view on Ireland

This movie was not even filmed in Ireland but rather Cornwall, England and is offensive to Irish citizens and wasn't worth the producers while to insult the Irish as nobody no matter what race will find these horrible movie funny. I wouldn't be surprised if not any of the movies directors, producers or actors had actually ever been to Ireland. It is about an American who gets evicted then decides to move to Ireland where everyone has no electricity, believes in leprechauns and has red hair! I did not laugh once during this movie and unless you think poor impersonations of Irish insults is funny then avoid this movie at all costs.

Jimmy da Jam

I think that Irish Jam is by far the funniest, romantic, and heart-touching movie that I've watched. I might be only seventeen years of age, but i have seen a whole lot of movies, and so far this is the only one that I could watch ten times straight. Jimmy was hilarious with all his wangsta ways, and Maureen is a beautiful lady. The part that got me was the ending, Kathleen and Maureen just took my heart to tears with their acts. By the way where can I get the Irish music that Maureen sang in the show? Who's the original artist? I would really like to get her music! So please send me the name of the Irish music singer.

Black-Irish comedy

You've seen it before and if you have, I certainly have seen too much of it. What will they think up next, I wonder, considering they haven't thought up anything since they were born?

Let me summarize it: lovely ethnic community in trouble; evil (or rather obnoxious) guy trying to steal their livelihoods; differently ethnic street punk, accidentally finding himself in the posture of the hero; normal cliché loud smart-mouth, always saying something sounding funny, but which isn't; lovely ethnic girl who is at first repulsed and then attracted by our hero; hero seeming to fail miserably, then succeeding, mostly due to luck.

And no, I did not spoil anything, since you've seen it all before. That was my point!

Much better than expected

Saw this lurking in a corner of the DVD store and borrowed it on a whim. It was much better than I expected. Eddie Griffin was funny as usual, the beautiful Ann Fridel was great.

Quick outline - village pub in Ireland is about to be sold to greedy land developer. To prevent this, the villagers decide to have an international poetry contest and give the pub to the winner. Ghetto hustler Jimmy Tha Jam(Eddie Griffin), on the run from various creditors and ex girlfriends, somehow wins the contest. Much culture-clash humour then ensues, but Jimmy eventually gets the villagers on his side. Much better than I'm making it sound here. Not too many clichés around, which is nice.

Not to take anything away from Ediie, but I think if Will Smith had done this movie, it would have been huge!

Rewatched 2021 - This is NOT a netflix abomination.

Having re-watched this 2021... WOW!

It was funny, and the ending by the boat almost made me cry.

This kind of love story... you won't find it on "Netflix original" movies.

It was kind of predictable, but the journey to that prediction... it wasn't boring.

The sole purpose of the movie was comedy with a tinge of romance and it delivered that. It didn't add any unnecessary ingredients just for the sake of it.

To think that a movie from 2006 outshines 99% of movies made the last decade... it's sad. What's even more sad is that this is the kind of movie from back then where they weren't even taking themselves serious...

Citações
Maureen Duffy: [rushes to the docks and finds Jimmy about to leave] Jimmy McDevitt, will you stop being so bloody stupid? You're just gonna leave and that's it, you can't do that. You can't just mess with people's feelings like that.
[Jimmy turns to her]
Maureen Duffy: God, what an idiot I've been, standing here thinking that you actually cared!
Jimmy McDevitt: I do care!
Maureen Duffy: No, you don't!
Jimmy McDevitt: Yes, I do. You know, for a moment there, Maureen, I thought you and I had something...
Maureen Duffy: We do.
Jimmy McDevitt: You and Kathleen. But I was just fooling myself.
Maureen Duffy: But...
Jimmy McDevitt: No buts! I mean how many freebies do I have to give away in this village? You can't buy acceptance, Lord knows I tried, three times to Sunday. Yeah Jimmy's a likeable guy. But you know what? Deep down inside, they're all afraid of me. Afraid of who I am, what they think I represent, so I disappoint them. Pulled off the scam of a lifetime. But it's all over now. It's time for Jimmy to jam and get back to... familiar territory. Make another quick buck.
Maureen Duffy: And then what? You spend it and you make another, and another, and another, and another. Where does it all end? Can't you see the emptiness of it all? Hurt. Stay. Come on, what do you've got to lose? You can't keep on running, Jimmy. What are you running from? Everybody loves you. Everybody loves you, just the way that you are.
[crying]
Maureen Duffy: Are you going to make me say it? I love you! Okay, I love you.
[sobbing]
Maureen Duffy: Please don't go. Please don't go.
Jimmy McDevitt: [sadly] I've gotta go, Maureen.
[he turns to leave]
