Not much of a plot to this, most of my points are for the lovely Andrea Corr and the acting of the three brothers, Colm Meaney, Bernard Hill and Noel Bridgeman.All plot lines are totally predictable if not contrived. The... Full review

Some films may be predictable, with minimal storyline and action sequences and still be a hit. THE BOYS AND GIRL FROM COUNTY CLARE hits that description on target. This is an emerald of a jaunty little Irish tale that thoroughly... Full review

Yes, this movie is adorable...but I feel that a lot of that was just because it took place in Ireland. I'm a full blooded Irish and saw through it...It's easy to get swept away in soft accents, pints, and fiddle... Full review

The Boys & Girl From County Clare is a charming little film, brilliantly written and acted, and it did something very few films have managed to do: it exceeded my expectations. Even after driving two hours to a small theatre... Full review

If anything, "The Boys and Girl From County Clare" is a bit too tidy for the coarse stories it's trying to tell.
Irvin was initially attracted to the genuine authenticity of the characters.

The Boys From County Clare is kind of a topsy-turvy movie, with the familiar character actors in the lead and the good-looking romantic pairing in supporting roles.
Of course, John Joe and Jim might have been selecting identical songs as a way to show that they're still connected no matter how much they don't get along.The cast is good, individually, and plays well off each other, although I question casting Hill and Meaney as brothers.
