    If it gets a cinema release here I can see it breaking box office records :p nearly on 10 pages for thread so far and all over the media

    If the cinemas reopen, there’ll be covid clusters due to the popularity of this film!
    I can’t wait to see it.

    I don't think actors should change their accents at all in movies. Just act. The TV show chernobyl was one of the most gripping dramas I have seen, it would have been ruined by everyone trying to do Russian accents.

    I would have watched it as a Russian production with Russian actors in Russian subtitled but it would end up as an even bigger work of fiction. :D

    It would be pretty boring watching a show about a minor 3.64 Roentgen leak in a reactor and just watching workers run round all day not finding graphite anywhere

    It'd be not great, not terrible.

    as ridiculous as the accents are i prob wouldn't do a better one if i tried another irish accent
    Sure, and I can't sing any better than Bono, but only one of us is doing a job where competence in it is expected. A multimillion euro production can afford a damned dialect coach.

    There's a guy on YouTube who is a professional dialogue coach and he did these videos breaking down famous actors doing accents and he got to Brad Pitt in Snatch and started talking about how it was a Northern Irish accent. So, if that's the standard of coach movies are hiring then it's no wonder this is the level of accuracy we get.

    Given the amount of movies with NI accents you think that would be the one you can't mistake

    The trailer looks like The Lord of the Rings except with leprechauns instead of hobbits.

    The director defended the fake Irish accents saying real Irish accents would be to hard for International audiences to understand.

    That's ridiculous but just proves what we knew all along. This film was made for a very specific audience and the film makers only care about $

    I remember reading they put subtitles on the Commitments back when it released in the States.
    And I've seen US shows my mum was watching which I'm guessing would have the same target audience as this, such as 90 Day fiancé, where someone could be speaking in perfectly clear English but since they're from a foreign country and have an accent, they have subtitles.

    It's just a bit of fluff they're not making Schindler's List!

    Besides, when people are allowed on planes again, this is the type of exposure the Irish Tourism Board can't get enough of.

    It's going to be a hit in Ireland anyway from all the people who will watch it for the car wreck it looks like it will be.

    :)

    There are people who will tell you that John Patrick Shanley’s “Wild Mountain Thyme” traffics in bumper-to-bumper Irish stereotypes, but those people will be a bit off the mark — “stereotypes” is a wildly inadequate word for how this fable-esque romantic comedy renders the quirks and customs of life in the verdant farmlands of Ireland’s County Mayo. This sometimes enchanting (but always demented) soda farl of banter and blarney couldn’t be a broader caricature of Irish culture if it were written by the Keebler elves and directed by a pint of Guinness.

    We’re talking about a movie so in love with its own lucky charms that it makes “Waking Ned Devine” feel like “In the Name of the Father” by comparison. Think that’s overstating the case? The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland responded to the trailer by tweeting “Even we think this is a bit much.” That was after seeing only two minutes of it; this critic has seen the other 100 as well.

    Has anyone heard the crazy thing?
    That apparently there's a big surprise ending and it's that Jamie Dornan character thinks he's a bee and it's portrayed deadly seriously :pac::pac::pac:

    I could not stop laughing when I read it online yesterday. This movie sounds batsh*t insane.

    Yes!! I watched it and thought I was going mad when
    he says he thinks he's a honey bee.
    Absolutely bonkers, and not even in a so bad it's good way. It's a brutal film. It's like scenes were written on improv and don't make any sense on it's own or when put together as a whole. The main characters are pure daft, the human personifications of the bad accents.

    Easily one of the worst films I've ever seen, the accents are actually the least of its problems. How they got so many big names to be in this is just wtf.

    It was supposed to be out yesterday in cinemas, but that's obviously not happening. They maybe didn't have a streaming release planned?
    I can't see it listed anywhere other than Google Movies, but it's not giving a price or option to buy/rent. It just says coming 2020.
