Honeymooners
Not the Cedric the Entertainer movie (which was also filmed in Ireland). This one is a shoddy romantic comedy filmed Dogma style. It's all shakey camerawork done on video. The story is the usual romcom drivel - after getting dumped on his wedding day the groom travels to Donegal with a young woman. At first they don't get on but guess what happens? Some scenes do work - the local wife's wedding dress is memorable. Also, funny were the suspicious locals. It's also good that this low-budget (€60k) movie got a theatrical release. But what's the point when you can see an identical and better Hollywood movie almost every month in the local cinema?
