refreshing

It's so hard to find a movie that both my teen-age/young adult children love, too ! We enjoyed the music and the relationship between the main characters........not your predictable outcome.

Close to Perfect

With its journalistic filming and the amazing songwriting of Dan, this is by far the best movie we've seen in awhile. Not only did I watch it twice yesterday, but I just now purchased the soundtrack and the roads outgrown.
I actually cried at certain times in the movie, the songs were so lovely.

ONCE Upon A Time!!

I want to start out saying ONCE upon a time because it might have fairy tale qualities but it also seems like something that really could happen. You don't have to check the rational side of your brain at the beginning. You come away thinking, that really could have happened in life. Glen lives and works with his widowed father who owns a vacuum cleaner repair service. He has also just broken off a romantic relationship with a girl who is still living in London. He wants to be a full time musician and in his spare time he plays in the downtown area on the streets of Dublin. Marketa and her infant daughter live with her widowed mother in a small apartment. We learn she is estranged from her husband (still living in the Czech Republic) and it just wasn't working out. She sells flowers and other small items on the streets to support her small family. They meet on the street when she listens to one of his songs and strikes up a conversation. She, too, loves music and 'borrows' a piano at the local music store during lunch because she can't afford a piano of her own. They find they have a shared passion for writing and creating music. A relationship starts to develop. Where will it lead? Is it more than just music? Is this the ONE chance for both of them to fulfill their dreams together? Michael Phillips of The Chicago Tribune says, "ONCE may well be the best music film of our generation." [...]

A wonderful movie

"Once" is one of the best music related movies that I have seen in quite a while, A wonderful story about two stuggling singer songwriters who find a chance to pursue their dreams in Ireland, The film has a wonderful low budget, independent feel to it, and while it has no big name actors, The actors are really musicians, the performances are excellent, and the sometimes awkward chemistry between the characters makes for a wonderful story, and the music is beautiful, the soundtrack was one of my favorite CDs of 2007 and the song"Falling Slowly" easily one of the best songs of 2007.

The Luck of the Irish

I loved this movie. It's a very sweet story full of charm, humor, wonderful music and well-meaning people who give due consideration to life's problems and come up with practical, moral and uplifting answers. So what's my problem? I'm Irish, so please don't think I'm prejudiced. It's just that this is a movie I would love to share with my children and other dear family members, but... the language is of the sort I would be washing the kids' mouths out for repeating. It's just so bloomin' Irish. If you don't have any tender young ears around, it might be just the thing for you.
