Beyond the Pale

What 'the Pale'? It's Dublin of course. Except here it goes across the Atlantic to America. An Irish guy emigrates to work in crap jobs because he's an illegal. He lives with a landlady and her permanent older lodger. There's a friend who represents the kind of character who's up for a laugh. The first guy wants to make something of himself. He meets an actress who's also from Dublin. She has an older boyfriend. They end up back where they came from. That's the movie. Any good? Not really.
