Set in Dublin in 1967, the story of feisty woman, who along with her seven children, learns to cope with adversity after the unexpected death of her husband. As Agnes finds her finances waning, she st...( read more  read more... )ruggles to make ends meet, and eventually winds up selling fruits and vegetables at her Market Street stall. There, she encounters a menagerie different from the one she mothers at home, and is shored up by her best friend, confidante, and neighboring Market Street vendor, Marion Monks. Sharing an earthly laugh with Marion, tending to her children, and dreaming of someday seeing Tom Jones in concert, Agnes blazes through the days. When a French baker, Pierre, takes an interest in her, Agnes realizes that she still has her own life to live, even as she must provide for her family... Suddenly finding herself coming of age, she takes a second chance at life and love, while always keeping her twin senses of humor and resilience.

    I did not find this to be a great movie - but it was an enjoyable enough movie. It was a two-sided film and the two sides didn't blend well enough for me. On the one side you have a very beautiful story of friendship - quite poignant and well done performances by both Anjelica Hu...( read more)ston & Marion O'Dwyer. The other side of this though was quite silly - with Tom Jones (actually playing himself) coming to the rescue so to speak in the end. This also had a sort of cheap romantic novel side to it..just too many things going on and never quite jelled for me. But as I said, still in all was enjoyable enough. If there could be a 2.5 stars that is what I would have truly rated it. But since there are no half stars to be found here as far as rating - I'll give it 3 stars - as I did enjoy the part of the story that dealt with the friendship between the two woman.

    Extremely boring. Do not bother watching, absolute waste of time.
