The Gaelic Curse

There haven't been such strange goings-on in an Irish village since Waking Ned Devine. Not sure if it was the fun, the scenery, the music, or the devil himself but this film was sweet: definitely two lumps of sugar for me.

The forms taken by the curse were so contrived and over-the-top that they undermined the charm for me. IMO, this movie would've been greatly improved if the scriptwriters had come up with more subtle ways for the curse to manifest.

This movie was very well made with a little dark humor but also a feel-good, lighthearted watch. Funny and enjoyable to watch with the family. It had a really good cast and acting. Great chemistry with the actors. It was well produced.

This is my favorite Irish movie overall because the content is truly authentic. I grew up in Ireland and can identify with the storyline. We honestly didn't know how to handle special needs people. These people were different and we simply didn't know how to relate. I love how the storyline played out. This movie Gaelic Curse covered a very big subject matter in a thoughtful and delicate way. There was humor associated with it which made me laugh, there was sadness which made me cry, but the beautiful music lifted my spirits, I highly recommend watching it.

My 9 year old daughter and I enjoy this movie, it was refreshing to watch a family movie that was appropriate for younger children to enjoy as well, great humor, and a pretty good message regarding humanity.
