Wild Mountain Thyme

I don't get the bad reviews. This movie is one of very few movies that made me laugh and chuckle out loud. It's not your typical rom-com movie, it's quirky, and strange in an adorable way. Although at first I thought this movie could have used younger actors, Blunt and Dornan made it work. The Irish scenery is just spectacular, it's in my bucket list of places to see. Just don't overthink this movie, just enjoy the silliness and quirkiness of the ride. You might want to have closed caption on though (I do with all British movies, or those with Irish, Scottish accents). It's a feel good movie, nuff said. We could all use some these days.

The different reviews I have read encouraged me to add my two cents. I found this movie charming. Were the accents accurate? I couldn't tell you. I am not Irish but am aware that there are lots of different accents within the country depending on the area the people come from. I know the scenery was beautiful and made me want to go there on vacation. The people appeared charming not backwards like one reviewer stated. I saw a love story between two people whose beliefs and thought processes are different from mine. Everyone has some "crazies". The trick is to find someone who can accept them and if you are lucky learn to love them because they love you. That's what this movie showed me. I admit to having to see it twice which helped my understanding of the gist of some of the conversations because of my being unfamiliar with some of the dialect and or slang. The actors performances to me were very good, believable, and charming.

I enjoyed this movie. It was sweet and witty and a breath of fresh air. Made me feel good in the end. People need to stop taking things and themselves so seriously 🙄

Some people may not entirely have the same conversation or think of what the movie will end up discussing when I say that summary line. I wouldn't even want to start explaining it. It is one of the weirdest things put on film ... I'd argue in a good sense.

What I can say, Emily Blunt is quite the stunning person ... anyone should be happy to have her as his (or her for that matter) neighbor ... that being said, Jamie Dorman is playing it as straight/shy as he can. Add to that the playboy Jon Hamm (I'd like to see him do the Dorman part for a change, but that's a different story - literally) ... and you have quite the love triangle ... also a genius like Walken always helps ... no matter how bad tempered and evil intent he may be ... so great acting with an interesting love story to say the least ...

This movie is just weird. In order to enjoy it just don't take it seriously because it doesn't even take itself seriously. The story is ridiculous and cheesy but enjoyable because weirdly the ridiculousness of it is what makes it fun and entertaining. Emily Blunt is awesome and Jamie Dornan is very good. The cinematography is stunning with amazing sceneries of the Irish landscapes, it made me fall in love with the country. Wild Mountain Thyme is a cute funny stupid movie, if you're in the mood for such films then don't miss it out.
