Wild Mountain Thyme

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 🙄

I read all the reviews about this movie while watching it. Whether it was rated 9/10 or 1/10, they were all correct. Ultimately how you will react to this movie depends on what sort of person you are.

If you like correctness, accuracy, and expect everything to be right and make sense in a movie, you will hate this, score it badly, and agree with all the negative reviews.

If what drives you is emotion, seeing beauty even when it's surrounded by flaws, if you have a strong anima, and if you love Emily Blunt - then watch this movie.

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.

So I can see where some people might not like this movie. It's a little choppy and all over the place. Is it perfect? No. Is it critic friendly? Also no. But I actually really liked it! It was silly and chaotic but also heartwarming and charming. I love Emily blunt always and I liked Jamie dornan too! If you love quirky, silly love stories with some true heart, give this one a shot. Maybe it was my particular mood but I enjoyed it! Look forward to watching it again in a few months to enjoy it all over again.

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.
