Trivia
An Irish music competition such as the one portrayed in the film is called a "fleadh" (pronounced like "flahhh"). However, nobody uses this word in the movie.

Goofs
Actually, speed limits etc in Irish road signage was not changed to kilometers until January of 2005 so the signage is correct for the period the film was made.

Quotes
Anne: Is that all You ever think about, Music?
John Joe: Well when you've got the music, you've got friends for life. That's why I'm never lonely. Remember that.

Magical Music Comedy

The acting was grand, the music was authentic and the story was cute. Made me laugh and my wife cry, as romantic comedies should. If Irish people are your thing then watch this.

Andrea Corr does a fine job as the lead of the one band. I would guess that she grew up in a similar environment and probably played in a band just like the one portrayed.

The Irish music is great. It made me want to go out and get traditional Irish CD's

Might have been better if they cut the movie after the final dance at the competition. The story after this is OK, but not great.

Great Craic.
