An agonizingly amateurish WWII rom-com.
03/13/09
Stiff acting and a clunky script are at odds with the visual suavity, though at a mere 83 minutes, the film won't make you wait long for the sentimental denouement.

Top CriticWaiting for Dublin can't end soon enough.

Top CriticA movie so unendurably bad it deserves to be put down like a sick dog.

[It's] aiming at pleasantly diverting, and can't seem to hit that reasonably located target.

Its shrill amateurishness makes it feel homemade in all the wrong ways.

Top CriticLet’s just say that it will take many Guinnesses to get over the stilted awfulness of this nonsensical ode to the Emerald Isle. Many Guinnesses.

A better script, stronger direction and a likable star could have made Waiting for Dublin worthy of the best whimsy.
