 | ...really enjoyed this film
rating: 4
Andrea Corr does an excellent job. Scenery is beautiful even though it might not be Clara County. Corr has that special 'look' that translates well on film.
I must say..the fake fiddling is the worst I have seen. I am surprised that Andrea Corr (others) could not have make it more convincing...considering that Corr is a musician.
Regardless, it's a story with heart and all the elements.

Surprisingly engaging
rating: 5
I got this because I was on an Irish movie kick and I like the Corrs (Andrea Corr plays the female lead). I wasn't expecting anything special so I was pleasently surprised. The movie had both funny and dramatic moments and the music was great. I rarely watch movies more than once but I've watched this several times. It's worth a look.

If you have the music, you have a friend for life

The Aran Ceilidh Band Competition draws bands from all over Ireland, and in this case, Liverpool, to compete for the Ceilidh band trophy.
For the first time, Liverpudlian Jimmy McMahon (Meany) is entering a band for the competition. He knows he's up against his older brother John Joe (Hill). Bribing a Customs official and stealing the wheels off one of their buses is just the beginning of what the two brothers will do to beat each other. It's not just this contest, but rivalry from many years ago that propels their antagonism.
My husband and I watched this movie once this afternoon and turned around to see it again. It's funny, the music and scenary are gorgeous, and it's just well done all the way around. I rented this movie from Netflix, but it's on my list of things to buy.

The Boys and Girl from County Clare
rating: 5
Entertaining movie with great Irish music and an excellent cast. The brothers who have had "life long issues" are played by well-seasoned actors and the young female lead Andrea Corr, from the music group, The Corrs, is just perfect.
