“I plodded toward the multiplex against my will, my girlfriend dragging me along as we went. u0026#39;…but whyyy???u0026#39; I moaned. u0026#39;Shut up with ya, weu0026#39;re going to see it, ya big ejit!u0026#39; my girlfriend snapped. My reluctance to see u0026#39;About Adamu0026#39; was based on previous experiences of experiencing Irish-made films, they were all the same – poor little, thatched cottage family living in repressed little olu0026#39; Ireland in the midst of poverty – boring! However, I actually really enjoyed u0026#39;About Adamu0026#39; – with proper distribution and promotion – this could be a huge hit across Europe and the USA. u0026#39;About Adamu0026#39;, for a thankful change, shows Ireland how it really is – modern, stylish and prosperous. The people in the film arenu0026#39;t weeping throughout the entire film because their potato patch is unproductive, they are just like ordinary, modern Irish people – well, we donu0026#39;t all go sh**ging our fianceu0026#39;s entire family – but other than that itu0026#39;s real. The film is very witty and entertaining, if only a little slow at some parts. Kate Hudson has a surprisingly good Irish accent and Stuart Townsend is a well-cast star with a bright film throughout the film industry, here and abroad. u0026#39;About Adamu0026#39; is a very positive and encouraging leap forward for the Irish film industry and is an example of how more Irish films should be made in the future – weu0026#39;re sick of dwelling in the past – itu0026#39;s the positive present and bright future people want to see. u0026#39;About Adamu0026#39; bears more of a resemblance to u0026#39;American Pieu0026#39; and u0026#39;Road Tripu0026#39; than to u0026#39;The Fieldu0026#39; and other such films. All in all, a good show. I encourage all, European, American, Australian etc, to see this film – not just because Iu0026#39;m Irish, but because it is a genuinely enjoyable, funny movie.”
