Anna Brady, feeling desperate, decides to travel to Dublin, Ireland to propose to her long time boyfriend (as is tradition). Anna finds her quickly facing several unforeseen obstacles. She adds another, when she asks Declan O'Callaghan to drive her to Dublin.

This film was directed by Anand Tucker. This romantic comedy follows a very familiar rom-com plot. It also ends on a very predictable note. However, this film doesn't offer anything new, or exciting, to the genre so the film just kind of meanders on. There were some complaints that the film doesn't represent the Irish people in a good light. However, the backdrop of Ireland was stunning to watch. Amy Adams played the role of Anna Brady. Her familiar cute nature comes through in this film. Even though her performance keeps this film entertaining, there isn't anything great it either. Matthew Goode played the role of Declan O'Callaghan. Unfortunately, there wasn't much excitement to his character. During the course of the film, he just feels like he's annoyed to be there.

I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! A decent actress wasn't enough to make this film great.

This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.

Answer to last blog: Actor Michael B. Jordan, Creed, starred in the film Fruitvale Station.
