She plays Marcy Tizard, who has been sent to Ireland by her boss Nick (Denis Leary) to find a relative that can help the Irish-American vote for Boston Senator John McGlory (Jay O. Sanders). Arriving in Ballinagra in time for the annual matchmaking festival, she's suddenly the object of competition between two rival professional matchmakers, Dermot (Milo O'Shea) and Millie (Rosaleen Linehan) and gains the attention of bartender Sean (David O'Hara). Romantic third act hijinks ensue, as they always do, but things work out. This was directed by Australian director Mark Joffe, who made sure it was authentic by working with Father Ted writer Graham Linehan, who wrote the script with Karen Janszen and Louis Nowra. When asked, Garofolo said this was one of the few movies that she was in that she liked. See more Read all reviews
