I did not want to like this movie. Not a big fan of Hillary Swank (began on 90210 years ago as annoying girl…) and a movie about losing your husband? Not particularly happy-feel-good, but I was wrong.
There are just as many laughs as tears and frankly, Gerard Butler using his Irish accent – oh my…I am a complete sucker for a brogue. The entire cast is good – particularly Harry Connick, Jr. The friendships are real with their fluid teasing – facing the realities of life with humor and stumbling grace. The girls’ trip to Ireland is bittersweet and gorgeous.
However, it is still a “crier” movie. Truly it is in essence an Irish wake – tears, drinking, songs, storytelling, and oh so much laughter…Feels like home to me. Enjoy!
