It's back to the Celtic Tiger era with expensive apartments, blogs, cafés, attractive women, tennis, and lots of nice people! Everyone here looks clean and inoffensive. It's about a food critic who falls for a Spanish lady. Very bland but still enjoyable. Dublin looks great here and the two leads are good. The story is slight (we're supposed to care that she turns vegetarian!) and there's a good contrast between the writer's sophisticated lifestyle and his old-fashioned parents. There's a running gag about coddle and Simon Delaney plays the same role he did in This must be the place. Looks out of place in current Irish cinema but it's a surprisingly good effort. One of the better Irish releases from this year.
