Top CriticAs the twin revelations of a wonderfully unexpected pay-off prove, in the end there's no substitute for wit, invention and real, priceless humour.

Irresistibly charming.

Jones could have done worse than to fashion this slight entertainment, but it's also clear that he could do much better.

A genial, feel-good item.

Top CriticThough it strives for broad humor, pushing cuteness and light irony, this bland 1998 movie isn't exactly a comedy.

Charming performances and easygoing humour are the strengths of Jones's enjoyable Oirish romp.

The film is tediously slow. The actors seem to pause too long between lines and the storytelling is far too smooth.

Completely delightful movie.

Like the hit movie The Full Monty, this British import has its funny shots of naked men.
