Wild Mountain Thyme

The scenery is good, Emily Blunt is beautiful, and this movie is a romance. It is slow moving - the second half has several nice romantic scenes and the last 5 minutes are delightful. Many dragging moments and boring Irish-stuff.... It passes the time and no one is murdered. You need to like romances to really enjoy it.

Near miss. Beautiful scenery, interesting story line and great actors... they all gave committed performances despite the fact they would have done better with Irish leads for Walker or Blunt's characters. Writing just took a wrong turn somewhere towards the weird and too-bizarre. Just didn't hit it for me unfortunately, could have been excellent.

Emily Blunt's character is covered in dirt and wearing a wardrobe that looks like it's set during the famine for most of the film. It's an absolute embarrassment to Ireland and a stereotype fueled dumpster fire. Funding an old writers mediocre work because he had a few hits a generation ago is insulting to all up and coming artists, especially to talented Irish writers. The director should issue an apology and resign from the craft.

(I've never felt compelled to write a review before, but since I'm from where this is supposedly set, I thought I'd share my take.) Even though we are rolling our eyes at the terrible accents; most people agree that and Irish accent is hard. It's grand - they tried their best. I LOVE a laugh, even if it's self deprecating and am rarely, if ever insulted; the same with the rest of my family. But to be honest; we didn't laugh once during this movie. When we finished watching, the only thing we really felt was disgust and embarrassment. We have done so much to try and get rid of the stereotypes of the idiotic Irish, but movies like this show that Hollywood seem not to care and will go for the cheap joke at the expensive of another culture and people. What was worse is the fact that people who aren't even Irish are telling us that we aren't to be offended. Sorry lads, but you don't get to do that. The director using his Irish ancestry as an excuse, leaves a bad taste in our mouth. Anyway: waste of time, disappointing movie that leans into stereotypes we've tried so long to get rid of. Definitely put a damper on our evening.

Beautiful scenery/story which crams a lot into this love story. It moves too quickly though scenes. Watching it a second time I have a greater appreciation of these talented actors.

The movie is OK and rather beautiful, but that final confrontation between the romantic leads is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. And not even good weird or cute weird, just really really weird and unbelievable.
