Movie Reviews of Eddie Griffith: Irish Jam
Movie Review: Don't judge anything by its cover.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. "Triple zeros" and Mr. "culture," Could you please elaborate on what exactly was so bad about the movie? Example; I'm Cuban, and I'm offended by Scarface. Why because it has an Italian American(as if they couldn't find any aspiring Cuban actors)playing a Cuban Mafioso. Reality is most Cubans in Miami are middle class, politically, and socially conservative. What's more if they're 1st generation they don't speak broken and retarded English to their relatives. They speak the Spanish of their birth.
There's an example for you of a critique. What exactly did you find objectionable about Irish Jam?
I liked it because it sends a message to American culture that Ireland isn't some kind of magical fairyland where every body looks like a leprechaun, tells jokes, drinks beer, and is after the pot of gold.
In fact in the movie there's a part where the English schemer, and corporate monger wants everyone to dress as lepracuans in his new theme park. The townspeople are offended by it, and finally there is an expression by something like a movie that Ireland is made up of real people, with real problems, and not leprechuans. They also are facing the same enemy today that has plagued us since the begining of History, the rich, and the greedy to get richer. I also especially liked the singing by the main female character played by Cathy Murphy.
Summary of Eddie Griffith: Irish Jam
L.A. Conman plagiarizes a rap song to win a poetry contest and finds himself the new owner of a pub in a small town in ireland. What follows is a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy with romance heart and a great message about acceptance.
