Tara road
Yet another contrived chick movie this one is a house-swap story where MacDowell moves to Dublin after her son gets killed (in a blackly funny scene). There's a silly sub-plot about an affair but it's well made. Also, good is the contrast between the classy American and the lewd, wealthy Irish. Makes many interesting comments about Southside Dublin society which may have not been intentional? Other than that it's an extremely average movie whch has been made several times already.
