I really enjoyed this movie. I will be watching it many times, I'm sure. I am having a friend over to watch it with me.

The service from the time I placed my order, until the time I received it was excellent, I would recommend Amazon.ca to anyone.

My husband and I love this show and wanted our kids to enjoy it too...so we watched it all together last Xmas when they were home for the holidays: it was a big hit! So this year, they all got their own copies and they were so happy to add it to their own growing library of DVD's. Our youngest loves it too and she is only 12!
It is funny, witty, well acted and completely unique. If you can't enjoy this movie, you should get your funny bone examined by a doctor. Quickly.

Jack O'Shea and Michael discover that someone in their remote little Irish (I think its Irish) town has won a HUGE lotto. The hilarity ensues as they attempt to court the potential winner...whoever is may be. Soon the whole town is involved in a charming little conspiracy, except of course for one bitter old lady. All the actors play their roles masterfully. No big Hollywood stars here, just great actors and a funny story. Worth watching and re-watching many times.

The mail was slow as | would have expected it to have arrived before I left the country. I will have to wait until I return to check it out. I have no idea when that will happen. From the information given, the product was mailed promptly.

Long-time Irish lottery player Jackie O'Shea (Ian Bannen) discovers that someone in his tiny village has won a huge jackpot. When the lucky winner dies, Jackie and his old pal Michael (David Kelly) come up with a plan to cash in anyway.

This simple tale of likeable folk who conspire to commit grand larceny is a real feel-good comedy. Bannen and Kelly are irresistible and had me under their spell from the beginning. The charm of the story comes from the close friendship among the villagers and the idyllic setting (filmed on the Isle of Man). If you were captivated by the folksy charm of movies like The Quiet Man, you'll love this movie, too.

this is the best pick me up you can have especially if shared with a loved one and a glass of glenfiddich.A movie I will watch for the rest of my life.

Have had this movie for years in VHS form and liked it so much, I bought it again in DVD!

this little movie is another example that you don't need a big budget
with big special effects.all you need is a compelling story.and some
humour,courtesy of some wacky characters and situations,doesn't
hurt.this movie has all of that.it is hysterically funny at times,and
always entertaining.this is a UK/France/USA production.anyway,this is a
very good film in all aspects.sometimes i laughed so hard,i cried.and
yes,the title is actually relevant to the movie,though i won't say
how.check this little gem out.you won't be disappointed. 4.5/5

This is one movie that you do not want to dive into the detail as it is fun to be surprised as it unfolds. Basically it looks as though some lucky sod in the village has won the lottery. The trick is to find out who it was. Then if found what chain of circumstances will it trigger.

I about died laughing before the beginning credits and could not contain my self to the end. One thing led to another the snowballed out of hand. I could not believe the actors could keep a straight face.

Now before you get the worn idea and thing this is some slapstick comedy or some Monty Python script. You would be wrong. This film give you the feel that you are there experiencing a small snippet of real live in a small village. This has depths like "Ladies in Lavender"; there are many underlying stories of the individuals and you want ton see how they play out. You will not be disappointed.
